D'Olivet, as a savant, philosopher and scholar, needs no introduction to this book. His Hermeneutic Interpretation of the Origin of the Social State of Man, Golden Verses of Pythagoras, and Hebraic Tongue Restored (all published by Kessinger Pub. Co.) testify to the brilliance of this man's mind. In the present work he is shown as a humanitarian who heals Rudolphe Grivel, a congenital mute. It is the story of this healing, together with the jealousies, calumnies and persecutions which followed this amazing deed. Written during the time of Napolean's reign. Fascinating!
