Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Causes and Cure of Stuttering: With Reference to Certain Modern Theories
The Author is induced to submit the theory contained in the following pages to the judgment of the public, because he has found it of eminent practical utility in removing defects of utterance. He communicates his system for the cure of stuttering with much confidence, from having directed his entire attention to the subject for a considerable number of years, and from its being the result of extensive and long-continued experience. The sufferings of persons afflicted with complicated and inveterate hesitations of speech are evident to all who witness them: and it cannot but be felt and acknowledged to be of paramount importance to a cure that the cause should be perfectly comprehended; this, the Author conceives, is the only probable means of attaining a successful method of treating impediments of speech, and he trusts that he has accomplished the object.
