Publisher's Synopsis
The Stutterer's Friend: Or The Plea Of Humanity And Common Sense, Against Two Publications is a book written by James Wright in 1843. The book is a passionate defense of people who stutter, as well as an attack on two publications that were popular at the time and were critical of stutterers. Wright argues that stuttering is not a personal defect, but rather a medical condition that should be treated with compassion and understanding. He also makes the case that people who stutter are just as intelligent and capable as anyone else, and that they should not be discriminated against or treated unfairly because of their speech impediment. The book is a powerful call to action for society to be more accepting and supportive of people who stutter, and it remains an important work in the history of disability advocacy.One Written By A Physician Incognito, Advertised The Stammerer's Handbook, But Entitled A Treatise On The Nature And Causes Of Stammering, And The Other By Mr. Yearsley, Entitled Stammering And Other Imperfections Of Speech Treated By Surgical Operations On The Throat.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
