NEWBOOKS. 13 



" To public speakers, vocalists, &c"., much pains 

 have been taken to make the book a kind of Medi- 

 cal Guide or Companion a sort of vocal vade 

 mecum, to which reference may be made for infor- 

 mation relating to the minor troubles, and some of 

 the graver diseases, to which the vocal organs are 

 liable, as well as the treatment of the more com- 

 mon ailments. This portion of the book will, it is 

 believed, prove not the least acceptable and valuable 

 of the whole." 



Throughout the work will also be found a great 

 number of useful hints and suggestions for the pre- 

 servation of the vocal apparatus in health and 

 efficiency. These, it is confidently anticipated, will 

 very much enhance the interest and value of the 

 book. 



The illustrations, which have been inserted 

 wherever found to be useful, will still further tend 

 in this direction. The source of such of these as 

 have been copied from other works are hereby 

 thankfully acknowledged, and will be found enu- 

 merated in the list of illustrations.
