The Lost Senses: Deafness and Blindness is a book written by John Kitto that explores the experiences of individuals who have lost their sight and hearing. The book delves into the challenges and obstacles that people with these disabilities face on a daily basis, as well as the ways in which they have adapted and overcome these challenges. Kitto also examines the history of deafness and blindness, including the medical and social attitudes towards these conditions throughout the ages. Through personal stories and historical accounts, The Lost Senses offers a unique perspective on the lives of those who live with sensory impairments and the impact it has on their lives.This work contains two smaller related works. In the Lost Senses: Deafness, the author, having become deaf at the age of twelve, pens this book as a record of his experience. It is not his intention to refer to the events or studies of his life, but to use them to bring out the points and peculiarities of the deaf condition. He selects only those events which arise from, which illustrate, or which are in any remarkable way connected with his deafness. Also found in this volume is the Lost Senses: Blindness. In this book, Mr. Kitto compares deafness to blindness. He includes some notable deaf and blind persons, discussing how they have overcome the loss of their sight and hearing. Also found within are several famous musicians, poets, divines, philosophers and travelers, all of which are incredible blind figures in our history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
