Disablement. Evils

By disabling the blinding a mans eye, one may be certain
of precluding a man from all the pleasures
which result from the perception of agreeable
colours and figures. By disabling the [internal] rendering him dumb deaf
ear one may be certain of precluding him from
all the pleasures of Music. By rendering him
deaf and destroying his hearing
blinding him one
may also be certain of preventing him from reading
for amusement: but this will not totally disqualify
him from partaking of those amusements
which are commonly obtained by reading: for he
may get others to read to him. By blinding
rendering him both blind and deaf one may
prevent him of both from reading himself and
hearing any body read to him. This will exclude
him almost wholly from those amusements
which are commonly obtained by reading:
unless he can has learnt how to converse with his fingers. But in
this case his conversation can extent little further by it excludes him wholly to for otherfrom
those subjects their current conversation: the little conversation he could maintain would extend but but a little way beyond his
animal wants. He might however learn to play
at ano cards, and other games of chance. He could however
neither converse at all nor perhaps even play
at any games but with persons particularly
instructed in his mode of conversation. Still
he could speak to any body and at any distance
