[stylist] Interesting book: Biography of the Blind

[Robert Leslie Newman]

Shelley good idea. Now I'll actually have to take the time to read it! I
talked about it and was going to start reading it but didn't. So I'll try
and make the time.

Hello Robert, I've been saving this email for a while because it is in
regard to a book that you obviously found interesting and I wondered if you
would write a review on it for "Slate and Style" for the summer issue to
appear just after convention. The review could be 700 to 1000 words. I enjoy
publishing book reviews in our magazine not necessarily or always bout
blindness. You did find this book intersting enough to bring it to our
attention so I wondered if you would write up a review for us. Please let me
know what you think. If you need help completing it let me know I'll
certainly be glad to help out.

> Hello:
>
>     I recently started reading the book Biography of the Blind by James 
> Wilson. It is available from NLS in braille and in recorded form. RFB&D 
> also has it. I remember seeing it cited in Dr. Jernigan's 1973 banquet 
> speech, Is History Against Us, but only recently stumbled across it. If 
> you want to read about the lives of an assortment of blind people, give it

> a read. I think its amazing that James Wilson published it in 1821 and he 
> was totally blind. This means that he had to have people read him all his 
> references and then dictate the contents of the book. Happy reading.
