This work considers problems of the blind from the legal, economic, prophylactic, and educational viewpoints, discusses the intellectual and material provision for them, and gives an account of the organizations interested in them. From these points of view the work is encyclopedic, containing a large mass of information from all sorts of sources, and is a most valuable reference book along the lines of the matters treated. The book is invaluable for all those interested in this special subject. The psychologist of course would like to see a careful setting forth of the mental condition of the blind from the newer points of view, but such a discussion would probably be material for another volume. The present volume cannot but be stimulating and helpful to all who are interested in the blind, and to the blind themselves it offers prospects for a better assimilation by the body social and a larger opportunity as a result.
