Translation of Les enfants sauvages. In the original, as here, Malson included complete texts of J. Itard's 2 classic studies: De l'education d'un homme sauvage (1801) and Rapport fait a S.E. le Ministre de l'Interieur sur les nombreux developpements et l'etat actuel du sauvage de l'Aveyron (1807). For this translation and 2d study was Englished by J. White; the 1st study is given as a reprint, slightly altered, of the 1802 translation entitled: An historical account of the discovery and education of a savage man, or of the first developments, physical and moral, of the young savage caught in the woods near Aveyron, in the year 1798.
