The Tongue Not Essential to Speech with Illustrations of the Power of Speech in the African Confessors (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781417974771)

The book ""The Tongue Not Essential To Speech With Illustrations Of The Power Of Speech In The African Confessors"" by Edward Twisleton discusses the power of speech and its ability to transcend physical limitations. The author argues that the tongue is not essential to speech, as demonstrated by African confessors who were able to communicate effectively despite having their tongues cut out as punishment for their beliefs. The book includes illustrations and examples of these individuals and their remarkable ability to communicate through other means, such as gestures and facial expressions. The author also explores the philosophical implications of this phenomenon, questioning the nature of language and the role of the body in communication. Overall, this book offers a unique perspective on the power of speech and its ability to overcome physical barriers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
