Translation of Les enfants sauvages. In the original, as here, Malson included complete texts of J. Itard's 2 classic studies: De l'éducation d'un homme sauvage (1801) and Rapport fait à S.E. le Ministre de l'Intérieur sur les nombreux développements et l'état 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.
