ALEXANDER MELVILLE BELL (1819-1905), American educationalist, was born at Edinburgh, Scotland, on the 1st of March 1819. He studied under and became the principal assistant of his father, Alexander Bell, an authority on phonetics and defective speech.
He was an early student of sound and speech, inspired, perhaps, by the fact that his mother, Eliza, was almost totally deaf, and his father, Melville, developed the first international phonetic alphabet. In his early 20s, Bell himself taught deaf children to speak and gave speech lessons at schools in his community.
