Excerpt from The Blind in China: A Criticism of Miss. C. F. Gordon-Cumming's Advocacy of the Murray Non-Alphabetic Method of Writing Chinese
"My experience teaches me that simplicity and unformity are the objects at which we ought to aim; and I trust that these lines will have the effect of inducing others to follow the beaten track rather than to strike out new paths, which, however promising they may appear at first sight, will lead the blind into deserts and quagmires from which it will be difficult to extricate them." - J. L. Shadwell's Braille Alphabet and Foreign Languages.
"Disappointments and impediments have been much more easily met and overcome, and unsuccessful expedients have been sooner detected, more candidly judged of, and more readily abandoned, by working on a small and economical scale, than could possibly have been the case had large outlay and much previous expense held out at every stage strong temptation to continue in a certain prescribed course, and thus to check conviction, and to embalm and perpetuate error." - J. Gall's Reading Book for the Blind.
