Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On Becoming Blind: Advice for the Use of Persons Losing Their Sight
There is so much of help and suggestion in Dr. Javal's little volume that it has been a labor of love to translate it, in the hope that it may bring this usefulness within the reach of those afflicted who cannot read the original. It has not been possible to con vey all the charm of style Of Dr. J aval's text, and somehow the pathos between the lines is lost in the translation. The appen dix on the means Of accelerating reading and writing has not been rendered into English, as it dealt with phonography of the French language only. I have added also to the last chapter a list of similar useful addresses in this country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
