Book excerpt: Excerpt from Deaf Mutism: A Clinical and Pathological Study The present work attempts to deal with Deaf Mutism in a broader and more comprehensive way than it has been dealt with hitherto in this country. It originated in a desire to found a scientific classification of the deaf for educational purposes. The Clinical and Pathological section (Chapters I.-VIII.) is the work of Dr. J. Kerr Love, and the Educational portion (Chapters IX.-XIV.) is by Mr. W. H. Addison. The two sections have not been formally separated, but it must be understood that each author is responsible for the facts and opinions of his own section only. There is, however, no divergence in the teaching of the two parts. It was the want of English medical literature on the subject which prompted the authors to undertake this work. It is therefore a special pleasure to thank teachers of the deaf in this country for the help they have given by supplying statistics and expressing opinions with regard to the points raised in the circular addressed to them. Individual mention must be made of Mr. Howard, of Doncaster, who has supplied important matter for both sections of the work, and of Mr. Barrett, of Margate, who wrote that part of Chapter VIII. which deals with British Censuses.
