[Nfb-history] Interesting item found on FaceBook

[Mike Freeman]

However, I've seen a hand-copied book of poetry by A. E. Houseman published
in 1897 on the 50th anniversary of Queen Victoria's accession to the throan
done in Great Britain and the Grade 2 was exactly like that used here until
1959.

 Hello Robert,
That sounds really interesting. The Braille was probably different than we
see now in that Grade 2 Braille wan's pomulgated until 1932.
It could have been either New York Point or grade 1#astb.
It would be interesting to see what the messages said.
I think it is interesting that blind people were asked to write something to
be put in a Time Capsule. I think that this is a great idea. Maybe we should
encourage blind people to write messages for Time Capsures in our time.
