There is a lack of biographical information. In addition, Bulwer has either been largely ignored or dismissed out of hand bt others working in similar fields. It may be that others, (John Wallis John Wilkins William Holder), around the time of the establishment of the Royal Society, who wanted to be the first to clain that they had taught a deaf person to speak had delibrately obscured Bulwers contribution. He had died in 1656.

Civil War

This had a big effect on his life. He was a Royalist. To what extent did this affect his work at the time and on posterity?--Alchemist Jack (talk) 15:43, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dates

Many dates are unknown and can only be inferred, such as, ~~his marriage~~, when he adopted Chirothea, when he attained his degree. I shall endeavour to pin them down. --Alchemist Jack (talk) 15:28, 29 August 2009 (UTC)--Alchemist Jack (talk) 15:33, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Legacy and historical importance

Many Firsts (deaf education, work on Gesture, writings on Speech and hearing disorders, classification of the facial muscles) but almost completely unknown outside specialist circles.--Alchemist Jack (talk) 15:36, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
