Stammering

Description

After having stammered for twenty years you have pretty well run the whole gamut of mockery, humiliation and failure. You understand the stammerer's feelings, his mental processes and his peculiarities. And when you add to this more than a quarter of a century, every waking hour of which has been spent in alleviating the stammerer's difficulty - and successfully, too - you have a ground-work of first-hand information that tends toward facts instead of fiction and toward practice instead of theory. These are my qualifications. I have spent a life-time in studying stammering, stuttering and kindred speech defects. I have written this book out of the fullness of that experience - I might almost say out of my daily work. I have made no attempt at literary style or rhetorical excellence and while the work may be homely in expression the information it contains is definite and positive - and what is more important - it is authoritative. I hope the reader will find the book useful - yes, and helpful. I hope he will find in it the way to Freedom of Speech - his birthright and the birthright of every man. - BENJAMIN NATHANIEL BOGUE
