Стр. 95 - Such an Orbilius mars more scholars than he makes. Their tyranny hath caused many tongues to stammer which spake plain by nature, and whose stuttering at first was nothing else but fears quavering on their speech at their master's presence ; and whose mauling them about their heads hath dulled those who in quickness exceeded their master.
Стр. 221 - There can be but one verdict of the profession on this manual — it stands without any competitor in medical literature, as a standard work on the organs it professes to treat of.
Стр. 111 - Si le difficile est le beau, C'est un grand homme que Rameau; Mais si le beau par aventure N'était que la simple nature, Dont l'art doit être le tableau, C'est un sot homme que Rameau.
Стр. 164 - ... as near as may be to the Italian, especially in the vowels. For we Englishmen being far northerly, do not open our mouths in the cold air, wide enough to grace a southern tongue; but are observ'd by all other nations to speak exceeding close and inward : so that to smatter Latin with an English mouth, is as ill a hearing as Law-French.
Стр. 73 - Voce di Petto is a full Voice, which comes from the Breast by Strength, and is the most sonorous and expressive.

Стр. 49 - The sixth age shifts into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon, with spectacles on nose and pouch on side; his youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide for his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, turning again towards childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, that ends this strange eventful history, is second childishness and mere oblivion; sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
Стр. 73 - The immediate effect of the laryngoscope was to throw the whole subject into almost hopeless confusion by the introduction of all sorts of errors of observation, each claiming to be founded on ocular proof, and believed in with corresponding obstinacy.
Стр. 173 - Rapid speakers do not hold the attention of listeners. Speaking slowly gives the opportunity for emphasis and allows time to think. 3. Speak carefully — Take care of the vowels and the consonants will take care of themselves.
Стр. 118 - The coup de glotte, or exact correspondence between the arrival of the air at the larynx and the adjustment of the cords to receive it is a point that cannot be too strongly insisted on.
Стр. 117 - The regulation of the force of the blast which strikes against the vocal cords, the placing of these in the most favorable position for the effect which it is desired to produce, .and the direction of the vibrating column of air are the three elements of artistic production. These elements must be thoroughly coordinated—that is to say, made virtually one act, which the pupil must strive by constant practice to make as far as .possible automatic.
