Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book sets up the Bristol Asylum for the Blind, a charity dedicated to teaching blind people to be self-sufficient through basket-making. The author, philanthropically motivated, was instrumental in founding the institution. The primary objective of this establishment is to provide blind individuals with practical skills that will enable them to earn an income, reducing their reliance on charitable assistance. The author argues that teaching the blind a trade is more beneficial to both the individuals and society as a whole than providing ongoing financial support. This book provides a glimpse into the lives of the blind in the early 19th century and highlights the importance of providing opportunities for them to live independently.
