Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The True Sphere of the Blind
The chief aim of the book is set forth in its title. I believe The True Sphere of the Blind to be in those vocations which require mental activity rather than man ual skill for their successful prosecution. By a careful psychological analysis I show that blindness renders possi ble a more intense mental life, and by an examination of the attempts to employ them at trades I find that, as a matter of fact, the blind are unfit for such pursuits.
