Popular Manual of Vocal Physiology and Visible Speech (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Popular Manual of Vocal Physiology and Visible Speech The plan of exposition adopted in the Inaugural Work was to illustrate mainly by diagrams and tables. The plan in the present book is to explain in detail the formation and the sound of every ele ment. The first publication was adapted only for students of Philology; this publication aims to en list its students from the general public and from advanced classes in schools and colleges. Vocal physiology should be included in the currie ulum of normal schools, as an important part of the education of teachers; and every student pre paring for missionary work ought to be an expert in Visible Speech. Many missionaries have already testified to the great facility they have experienced in acquiring languages through their knowledge of the system. The Science and Art of Speech - em braced under the title Vocal Physiology -should claim the interest, not only of teachers and linguists, but of every educated person.
