The anecdotes in the following pages will doubtless be read with considerable curiosity, and it is hoped that the Midland Institution for the Deaf and Dumb at Derby will receive some pecuniary assistance by the publication of this little book.
There are 1119 Deaf and Dumb in the Institution's district, which comprises six of the Midland Counties.
The Institution is supported by voluntary contributions.
