Sloane 1788
Paper, in Octavo, ff. 51, XVII Century.
'Philocophus, or the Dumbe mans academie wherein is taught a new and admired art instructing them who are borne Deafe and Dumbe to heare the sound of words with theire eie and thence learne to speake with theire Tongue:' illustrated with engraved plates shewing the different portions of the hands. ff. 1-51.
At the commencement is the following note, 'This Manuscript was composed by J. Bulwer, author of Philocophus, Anthropo-metaphorses, and other works, and appears to have never been published. It is so far curious as it shews the subject to have engaged attention formerly, but contains no information particularly useful, and cannot be deemed worthy of publication — ' 'A.M.'
John Bulwer, MD, the Cheirosopher: Philosophus: 17th cent.
