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).
