Translations:Victor of Aveyron/33/en

I did not assent to this unfavorable opinion; and, despite the truth of the picture and the justness of the representations, I conceived some hopes, which were grounded on the two-fold consideration of the cause, and the possibility of curing this apparent idiotism. I could not proceed without stopping an instant to dwell upon these two considerations. They still bear on the present moment; they result from a series of facts which I am going to relate, and in which I shall be obliged to mix frequently my own reflections.
