THE OSSIAN BOOK CLUB (BRAILLE). [To THE EDITOR OF TIlE"
SPECTATOR.") Sm,—May I draw the attention of readers of the Spectator to a very " special " little Lending Library of Braille books that has been started by a few book-lovers who wish to supply blinded readers of a literary and studious turn of mind with books which, though "caviare to the general." are nevertheless absolutefood to the few ? The " 0.B.C.," while by its name recalling the memory of one who was a "first-class fighting man" as well as a Bard, does not wish to be for the duration of• the war or for the warrior only. Its volumes, which are steadily growing in numbers, are mostly small in bulk, and are of a literary, philosophical, and mystical nature—quiet, nerve-soothing reading ; and in view of this aim I would venture to commend its existence to your readers' kindly notice. Titles such as Plato, St Ignatius and his Company, First Principles of Christian Citizenship will give some idea of the wares provided. The address is 4 Coleheme Terrace, S.W. Open Wednesday and Friday (1-11, 3-5).—I am, Sir, &o., Iowans.
