About this book
Elizabeth Gilbert and Her Work for the Blind is credited to Frances Martin. The introduction says there is a sacred privacy in the life of a blind person. The book describes a first floor whose front drawing-room has five windows looking into High Street, with one part divided off and converted into a schoolroom.
The book says Bessie, who was eight years old, was taken into the room to bid farewell to her sister Gertrude. A woman quoted in the book says there are seven men and six women pupils, and that the best workwoman can earn seven shillings a week, working eight hours a day. A quoted rule sets out to collect and disseminate information relative to the physical, mental, moral, and religious conditions of the blind.
