After reading the book in braille, [[Helen Keller]] said that "Who reads shall find in Henry George’s philosophy a rare beauty and power of inspiration, and a splendid faith in the essential nobility of human nature."<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QFEoAAAAMAAJ&q=keller+%22and+a+splendid+faith+in+the+essential+nobility+of+human+nature%22&dq=keller+%22and+a+splendid+faith+in+the+essential+nobility+of+human+nature%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0CCIQ6AEwAWoVChMI6rjf1v_nxwIVgZoeCh05iQf5|title=Land & Liberty: Monthly Journal for Land Value Taxation and Free Trade|date=1935|pages=58}}</ref>
