    English Braille readers should note that in France the grooves of Barbier are used, not the little cups to which they are accustomed. I have the author's sanction for the translation of tablettes perforees. by Braille frame. The Blind Man's World differs slightly from the original, since it embodies additions and altera- tions prepared by the author for a second edition. The work of translation has given me much pleasure ; nay, more, it has given me an insight into many things of which I was previously ignorant. It has, in fact, introduced me to the blind man's world. My best thanks are due to Dr. E. Javal, and to his son. Dr. A. Javal, for their unfailing courtesy and assistance, and to Mr. Sydney Stephenson, Editor of The Ophthalmoscope, for much kind help in seeing the work through the press. The translation has also been gone over by Drs. E. and A. Javal and by Madame E. Javal, the latter of whom made several very apposite criticisms upon it. W. E. T. 2, Somerset Place, Glasgow. September, 1904.
