Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdotes and Annals of the Deaf and Dumb The first edition, consisting of one thousand copies, was published at my own expense and risk and on finding, that when between five and six hundred copleb were either sold or given away, the produce was sufficient to cover all ex penses, I thought the best use to be made of the remaining capies, namely between four and five hundred, was to disperse them all over the world; in order to excite attention every where to the condition of the Deaf and Dumb. With this object, I accordingly sent them, through the various Missionary Societies of Great Britain, the United States and the Netherlands, to nearly all their Missionary stations throughout the world, directed to one or more of the principal Mission aries, in each place, as the persons most likely to feel an interest in a kindred cause and this re sult will be produced, I expect, every where, by the work; so that I trust it may prove in very deed the Herald and the Apostle of the Deaf and Dumb, throughout the four quarters of the globe.
