Children of Silence - Or, The Story of the Deaf Synopsis

"e;The Children of Silence; Or, The Story of the Deaf"e; is an 1887 guide to deafness written by Joseph A. Seiss. Originally written for the author's own benefit as the Director of the "e;Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb"e;, this guide contains a great deal of general information, making it an ideal introduction to the subject for those with little or no previous knowledge. Contents include: Causes of Adventitious Deafness"e;, "e;The Sad Condition of the Deaf"e;, "e;What can be Done for the Deaf"e;, "e;Early Efforts in Behalf of the Deaf"e;, "e;Modern Institutions"e;, "e;Table of Institutions in the World"e;, and "e;Synopsis of the Whole"e;. Joseph Augustus Seiss (March 18, 1823 - June 20, 1904) was an American theologian and Lutheran minister most famous for his contributions to pyramidology and dispensationalism. His best-known work is "e;The Great Pyramid of Egypt, Miracle in Stone: Secrets and Advanced Knowledge"e; (1877), considered a primary text of pyramidology. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
