Braille Review

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The seven stories fronting Bolsover Street consist of basement, and warehouse (for packing and distributing goods), while the first, second, third and fourth floors are for the ordinary printing of letterpress, and for the stereotyping, embossing and binding of books in Braille type. On the fifth floor is the Massage establishment, on the sixth is the Library of The Home Teaching Society, while the seventh is devoted to the caretakers of the building. To begin with the sale room - This is a beautifully-fitted room where all books and apparatus for the blind are displayed. There is also a very interesting museum -of books and appliances that are obsolete, which show the evolution of work in the direction of embossing for the blind for the past 130 years. Some of the ideas shown there will doubtless be incorporated in new apparatus. There are also in the shop a number of show cases containing goods made by the blind, for which orders can be taken.
