Light For The Blind: A History Of The Origin And Success Of Moon�������s System Of Reading For The Blind is a book written by William Moon. It tells the story of how Moon developed a system of reading for the blind in the mid-19th century. Moon was himself partially sighted, and he realized that the existing systems of reading for the blind were inadequate. He set out to create a new system that would be easier for blind people to learn and use. The book describes Moon's journey from his early experiments with raised letters to the development of his famous Moon type, which uses a combination of raised letters and shapes to represent different letters and words. It also explores the challenges that Moon faced in promoting his system, including resistance from established institutions and the difficulty of reaching a wide audience. Despite these challenges, Moon's system eventually gained widespread acceptance and became one of the most popular methods of reading for the blind in the world. The book provides a fascinating insight into the history of blindness and the development of assistive technologies. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of disability, education, or technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
