Book Description
Excerpt from Report Made to the Legislature of Massachusetts, Upon Idiocy The examination of their physical condition forces one into scenes, from the contemplation of which the mind and the senses instinctively revolt. In searching for the causes of this wretchedness in the condi tion and habits of the progenitors of the sufferers, there is found a degree of physical deterioration, and of mental and moral darkness, which will hardly be credited.
