Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Ceremony if Laying the Corner-Stone of the New York State Institution for the Blind at Batavia, September 6, 1866
That which distinguishes humanity - which lifts man above all created earthly beings, and to a rank a little lower than the angels, is the mind, or soul, with its powers of outlook and self-inspection. But mind, or soul, or spirit - call it as we may would be powerless and worthless in this state of being without language.
