Description

Excerpt from The Conquest of Blindness: An Autobiographical Review of the Life and Work of Henry Randolph Latimer A careful review of my own knowledge and experience led to the conclusion that almost all the available data for such an undertaking would be best presented under the comprehensive caption, The Conquest of Blindness. Despite my lifelong aversion to the general use Of the first personal pronoun, it has seemed necessary to cast the work in the autobiographical form. The term Conquest of Blindness is taken to include any preventive, remedial, educational, rehabilitating, or relief phase of work pertaining to the handicap Of blindness. The primary aim of the volume is to lift work for the con quest of blindness out of the miasma of alms and asylums into the more wholesome atmosphere of social adjustment. Other aims Of the volume are to serve as a supplementary text for the use of the profession, and as an incentive to the chance reader to delve more deeply into the subject, and to present as modestly as may be the autobiography Of one blind person who has contributed in small measure toward the conquest of blindness.
