Gallaudet, of the National Deaf Mute | | College._ | | | | "The results which crowned the labor of the first week were | | so astonishing that he fears to detail them fully, lest | | doubts should be raised as to his credibility. But this much | | he does not hesitate to claim, that, after a study of less | | than two weeks, he was able to sustain conversation in the | | newly-acquired language on a great variety of subjects." | | | | FROM THE ENGLISH PRESS. | | | | "The principle may be explained in a line--it is first | | learning the language, and then studying the grammar, and | | then learning (or trying to learn) the language."--_Morning | | Star_. | | | | "We know that there are some who have given Mr. | | Prendergast's plan a trial, and discovered that in a few | | weeks its results had surpassed all their | | expectations."--_Record_. | | | | "A week's patient trial of the French Manual has convinced | | me that the method is sound."--_Papers for the | | Schoolmaster_. | | | | "The simplicity and naturalness of the system are | | obvious."--_Herald_ (Birmingham.) | | | | "We know of no other plan which will infallibly lead to the | | result in a reasonable time."--_Norfolk News_. | | | | FROM THE AMERICAN PRESS. | | |
