Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Beck on the Statistics of the Deaf and Dumb
The directors of the Royal Institution of Copenhagen sug gest, that the number in the first line, between and 8 years, is hardly complete, since very frequently the fact is not suffi ciently ascertained during that period, of the infirmity of the child, or at'all events, that there will be an indisposition to register it. They conceive that the number should be doubled, and the total will hence be 680.
The proportion in various parts of the population is thus stated.
