Dr.
William Moon (
1818 -
October 9,
1894) was an
Englishman originally from
Horsmonden,
Kent. By
1839 he had become totally
blind and had moved in with his widowed mother and sister in
Brighton,
East Sussex. He taught embossed reading codes developed by several people (Alston, Frere, Gall, and Lucas) to local boys who were blind, but found that the boys considered these systems difficult to learn. He first formulated ideas for using embossed letters in
1843 and they were published in
1845. (See
