Excerpt from Blind Leaders of the Blind: The Romance of a Blind Lawyer

The repairs of the house having been completed, Mrs. Southerly, always practical, began to consider how she should educate her new charge. The child's loss of sight, together with his extreme frailty of temperament, made her dread to send him away from home to a school for the blind. After consideration, two raised print books were ordered; and she deter mined to teach' him, as she said, At least to read, if not to write. She would therefore call Robert to her, take him upon her knee, and guide his hand over the embossed alphabet. Often with tears in her eyes she would exclaim, How I wish he could get back his sight! It is so hard, so slow.
