EXTRACT FROM PREFACE. 



" In introducing to the public this work, which 

 was written several years ago, the Author may be 

 allowed to say, that he was encouraged to persevere 

 in the task by the feeling that he was labouring to 

 supply a long-felt want, a popular description, 

 namely, of the organs and parts concerned in the 

 production of the Faculty of Speech ; a description, 

 that is, from which all unnecessary technicalities, 

 and as much dryness as possible should be excluded, 

 consistent with clearness and the acquisition of a 

 general knowledge of the subject. 



" There are, doubtless, thousands of readers, in- 

 dependent of the strictly professional classes, to 

 whom such knowledge and especially the practical 

 collateral information incidently treated of in the 

 text must prove of very great, if not of predomi- 

 nant interest, and no small benefit. Indeed, the 

 practical bearing and application of the facts educed 

 have always been uppermost in the Author's mind, 

 and have been throughout persistently inculcated.
