现在，我们必须回到几年前，以便按时间顺序呈现使路易·布莱叶发明字母表的一系列情况。在1819年6月28日科学院的每周会议上，秘书向他聚集的同事们宣读了查尔斯·巴比尔·德拉塞尔的一封信，他详细地宣布了“一种新机器的发明，这种机器可以雕刻秘密组合的文字，而不必看到设备，在黑暗中）。”平静的学者，习惯于奇怪的通信，没有不适当的印象，并没有太重视新机器，选择了两个人调查，先生。第二年5月（研究仪器需要一些时间），院士们终于提交了他们的报告。我们将省去这份枯燥的文件，但将引用其中最重要的一句话：“这一过程使聋人和盲人之间的交流成为可能。查尔斯·巴比尔是路易十八军队中的一名炮兵上尉，他注意到在夜间演习中传达命令的困难。他以自己的创造性思维解决了这个难题，他在薄纸板上组合了点和破折号，以减轻痛苦，并发出命令：“前进！““全面撤退”等等。因此，无论多么黑暗，仅仅通过触摸就可以迅速破译命令。这个系统被称为“夜间写作”。“查尔斯·巴比尔被一种既真诚又无私的热情所激励，立即想到了可能的办法。
Now we must go back several years in order to present chronologically the succession of circumstances which enabled Louis Braille to invent his alphabet. During the weekly meeting of the Academy of Sciences on June 28, 1819, the Secretary read to his assembled colleagues a letter from Charles Barbier de la Serre, who announced with many details the "invention of a new machine which engraves a writing of secret combinations without its being necessary to see the equipment, [i.e., in the dark)." The placid academicians, accustomed to strange communications, were not unduly impressed, and without attaching too much importance to the new machine, chose two men to investigate, Messrs. Prony and Lacepede. In May of the following year (some time had been required to study the apparatus), the academicians at last presented their report. We shall spare the reader the entirety of the boring document, but will, however, quote the most important sentence: "This process makes communication between the deaf and the blind possible." Charles Barbier, an artillery captain in Louis XVIII's army, had noticed the difficulties in transmitting orders during night maneuvers. With his inventive mind, he solved the difficulty by combining on thin cardboard dots and dashes in relief, which in combination gave orders to be carried out: "Advance!" "General withdrawal," etc. Thus, no matter how dark, the order could be rapidly deciphered merely by touch. This system was called "night writing." Charles Barbier, prompted by a zeal as sincere as it was disinterested, immediately gave thought to possible
