The Lost Senses: Deafness and Blindness is a book written by John Kitto that explores the experiences of individuals who are deaf or blind. The book delves into the challenges that people with these disabilities face, as well as the unique perspectives and abilities that they possess. Kitto examines the medical and social aspects of deafness and blindness, including their causes, treatments, and impact on individuals and society. He also looks at the history of these conditions, including the ways in which they have been understood and treated over time. Throughout the book, Kitto draws on the experiences of people who are deaf or blind, as well as the insights of experts in the field. He explores the ways in which these individuals navigate the world, communicate with others, and develop their own unique ways of understanding and experiencing the world around them. Ultimately, The Lost Senses: Deafness and Blindness is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of two conditions that have shaped the lives of countless individuals throughout history. It offers a nuanced and compassionate view of deafness and blindness, challenging readers to reconsider their assumptions and understand the rich and complex experiences of those who live with these conditions.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.
