Reviews

This was initially published as four separate volumes between 1821 and 1838. Wilson, who went blind after a bout with smallpox as a child, presents portraits of himself as well as other blind men, women, and children from all walks of life. This edition arranges the biographies by fields of interest. In telling these people's stories, the author is also providing an eye-opening chronicle of how society has dealt with the disabled.
