Synopsis
Excerpt from Handicaps: Six Studies
Only described in one aspect - their relation to their infirmities. I have certainly had invalids in mind as among readers, but I would like just to say that it was not at all my intention to stir them up to try to perform feats of virtue to which they might be unequal. On the contrary, it should be remem bered that few people could hope to overcome dis ability so marvellously as did Mr. Kavanagh, of whom the account may be read here; then Robert Louis Stevenson had an indomitable spirit; Pro fessor Fawcett had an exceptionally good nerve. All these characters coming out of the past, express themselves each in the manner of their own time; but disaster to the human frame never goes out of fashion, and my hope certainly was that it might be an encouragement to read about some, who, in various ways, according to their powers, managed.
