That American voices are harsh, nasal, and devoid of beauty is such an oft told tale that I almost fear to repeat it, and yet of so much importance do I deem the subject that I risk the danger of being thought monotonous by referring to the causes and suggesting remedies for the removal of these defects. What voices lack most of all, as a rule, is expression; and, of course, without expression we have nothing, considering that expression is to all things the life which gives them being. The great philosophical orator and educator, Victor Cousin, has given us these beautiful words of wisdom: "The great law that governs all others is expression. Every work of art that does not express an idea signifies nothing; in addressing itself to such or such a sense, it must penetrate to the mind, to the soul, and bear thither a thought, a sentiment capable of touching or elevating it." This expresses my views exactly in reference to the duty of the speaker in producing voice. He should produce tones that represent ideas - he should explain by the tones of the voice the meaning of the words spoken. If he fails to do this, he merely utters words instead of speaking thoughts. If expression is necessary in arts such as painting, sculpture, and music, how essential must it then be in that greatest of all arts - speech. I trust my reader will not immediately take issue with me and exclaim that speech is not an art - that it is natural - for I believe if he will hear me with patience until the end, he will agree with me that speech is an art, and not only that it is an art, but that it is the art of the fine arts. It must be remembered that the writer alone is responsible for this work, that the opinions are only those of one man and may differ materially from those of many other men, but nothing is set down except after painstaking investigation and research extending over an active professional experience, in the classroom and on the platform and stage, of over thirty years, and that his instructions regarding the production and control of breath, voice, and speech have been carefully tested during that time, in many a class and upon many a platform. The aim of the author is to show not only that all may possess a pleasing and expressive speaking voice, but also how it may be obtained. With this idea in view many specific exercises are given instead of general rules, for remedying vocal defects. With these few introductory remarks I hopefully send my little work into the world to speak for itself.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ... A STUDY OF LONGFELLOW EDWIN G. LAWRENCE A lecture delivered in New York, under the auspices of the Department of Education of the City of New York, in 1906. There is much diversity of opinion concerning the degree of greatness belonging to Longfellow as a poet, but all agree as to the beauty, purity, and sweetness of his songs. If his flights are not of the soaring kind that pierce the clouds, they never descend to the depths of darkness. He wrote nothing that could by any possible means injure his fellowman, but, on the contrary, imbued his words with the spirit that cheers, strengthens, and uplifts. We can go to him as to a friend with whom it is a delight to commune, and we will leave him feeling refreshed, encouraged, and improved. As a man, he was the personification of nobility; and as a poet, he is the most beloved singer of the English tongue. In both these capacities let us consider him. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born in Portland, Maine, February 27, 1807, and died in Cambridge, Mass; March 24, 1882. He was of pure New England ancestry, tracing his descent through his mother, Zilpah Wadsworth, in an unbroken line back to John Alden and Priscilla Mullins of the original Plymouth colony. In boyhood he was kind, refined, and trustworthy, showing a strong love for the quietly beautiful in nature, humanity, and literature. He had no liking for evil in any form and escaped, apparently without an effort, the many perils that beset a youth. He lacked passionate intensity, being only in sympathy with what was beautifully emotional, preserving, at the same time, its purity and goodness. His literary growth was gradual, but firm; rising by successive steps from his early verses to the sweetly beautiful "Evangeline," and such...
