GM-5 4969.2; Hunter & Macalpine pp. 656-57. The first book on mental deficiency. "Thelwall recognized that sensory deprivation could be a cause of apparent mental defect through his work with handicapped children. He established criteria for distinguishing between intellectual capability and performance" [GM].Thelwall was a "political reformer whose radical views brought him to the Tower of London and to trial at the Old Bailey before he devoted himself to the treatment of speech impediments. He endeavoured to combine in his approach both 'Physiological and Elocutionary Science', a task for which he was well equipped by some medical training at St Thomas's and Guy's Hospitals and attendance at John Hunter's lectures, as well as by the circumstance that he himself had mastered a childhood stammer to become a successful public speaker. In the course of his work with handicapped children especially the deaf and dumb he distinguished from 'incurable idiotism' a condition in which the child's mind is 'contracted in its sphere of activity by physical privation' producing a picture of 'supposesed Deficiency of general Faculty'" [Hunter & Macalpine]. By close ly observing behavior and physiogonomy as well as testing for sensory deficiency, Thelwall distinguished intellectual capacity from actual performance. As HM points out, the "regular treatise and classification of the Cause of Idiocy" that Thelwall contemplated writing had to wait until the 1856 publication of Duncan & Millard's manual.
