On The Legal Rights And Responsibilities Of The Deaf And Dumb (1857)

""On The Legal Rights And Responsibilities Of The Deaf And Dumb"" is a book written by Harvey Prindle Peet in 1857. The book is a comprehensive guide on the legal rights and responsibilities of the deaf and dumb community in the United States during the 19th century. It covers topics such as education, employment, marriage, and property rights, as well as the legal system's treatment of the deaf and dumb. The book also includes a history of the education of the deaf and dumb and the development of sign language. Peet, who was a lawyer and a teacher of the deaf, wrote the book to provide a resource for the deaf and dumb community to understand their legal rights and to advocate for their rights in a society that often discriminated against them. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the legal and social challenges faced by the deaf and dumb community in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
