284 Mr. W. H. Barlow on the Pneumatic Action [Apr. 1 



The word used in the four following trials is " Incomprehensibility" 



The first is whispered faintly, 



The second is whispered forcibly, 



The third is spoken at the ordinary tone of the voice, 



And the fourth is spoken loudly. 



In order to show the manner in which the diagrams of words are 

 affected when spoken together, I give four lines from Hohenlinden and 

 the words separately. 



By torch and trumpet fast arrayed, 



Each Horseman drew his battle blade ; 



And furious every charger neighed, 



To join the dreadful revelrv.
