The Lost Senses: Deafness and Blindness is a book written by John Kitto that explores the experiences of individuals who are deaf and blind. The book delves into the challenges that people with these sensory impairments face in their daily lives, including difficulties with communication, access to education, and social isolation. Kitto draws on his own personal experiences as a deaf and blind person, as well as the stories of others who have faced similar challenges. The Lost Senses also examines the historical and cultural attitudes towards deafness and blindness, from ancient times to the present day. Through its thoughtful and insightful exploration of these topics, The Lost Senses offers a unique perspective on the lives of people with sensory impairments and the ways in which society can better support them.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.
