This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Gallaudet was born on December 10, 1787 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. His parents moved to Hartford, Connecticut, when he was 13.
Thomas attended grammar school at Hartford, Connecticut. Later, he entered Yale College as a sophomore in 1802 and graduated the youngest in his class and with highest honors. He also attended Andover Theological Seminary from 1811 to 1814.
In 1814 as a new pastor, Gallaudet met and taught Alice Cogswell a deaf-mute child, whose father set about to establish a special school for children like his daughter, that became the beggining of his understanding of the problem. Enlisted in the project to formalize this kind of education in America, Gallaudet went to Europe in 1815 to study established systems of symbolic instruction. He investigated the Braidwood method used in London and Edinburgh. Learning of advanced techniques practiced by Abbé Sicard with deaf-mutes in Paris, Gallaudet visited him and mastered his methods.
When Gallaudet returned to the United States in 1816, accompanied by one of Sicard's assistants, he began seeking financial support for a school for the deaf and mute which had already been incorporated by the Connecticut Legislature. The school, inspired by the ability of Alice Cogswell to overcome her handicap, opened in Hartford in 1817. Gallaudet's direction, writings, and public appearances made the school successful. By 1830 his health forced him to retire.
Gallaudet turned down offers to join university faculties or to lead other special schools so that he could devote himself to writing books for young children and promoting popular education. He worked on a speller and a dictionary and wrote Book on the Soul (1831). Later he continuied his studies and published Scripture Biography (1833), and Everyday Christian (1835). These, along with numerous journal and magazine articles, gained him worldwide recognition. The care of the mentally ill became Gallaudet's new interest.
In 1838 he became chaplain to the Retreat for the Insane in Hartford. From 1837 to 1844 he was also a volunteer chaplain of the Hartford county jail.
Thomas Gallaudet died in Hartford on September 10, 1851.
Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet co-founded the first institution for the education of the deaf in North America, and he became its first principal. Under his rule the school for the deaf proved its effectiveness and drawn public notice throughout the United States. He also was the author of famous works, that were based on his 35-years experience as a deaf educator: Book on the Soul, Scripture Biography and others.
A statue of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, created by Daniel Chester French, sits at the front of Gallaudet University.

In 1821 Gallaudet had married Sophia Fowler, a deaf-mute and former pupil. They had eight children, one of whom, Edward, participated in founding the Gallaudet College for the deaf in Washington, D. C.
She was appointed to be the first matron of the Columbia Institution on May 30, 1857.
He became an Episcopal priest and also worked for the deaf.
He founded in 1864 the first college for the deaf, which, in 1986, became Gallaudet University. He was president for 46 years.
