WE hope that the new era in the republic 
 of letters, which has been so long looked 
 for, has, at length, commenced. We trust that 
 a brighter day has dawned upon the world. In- 
 stead of the old and imperfect, Roman Alpha- 
 bet, we now have a new and perfect, American 
 Alphabet of the English language, — an alphabet 
 which has a letter appropriated to every ele- 
 mentary sound. By means of this alphabet 
 words are spelled as they are pronounced, which 
 is the only correct, the only philosophical way 
 of spelling the words of any language. 
 
 The labor of learning to spell and read, by 
 the old system, is a work of years ; but, by the 
 new, it is that of a few days only. As the 
 revolution which the new alphabet contem- 
 plates, will remove the principal obstructions 
 from the avenues to science, and, consequently, 
 render knowledge accessible to all, it must be 
 of immense utility to the people. How im- 
 portant, then, is it that every friend of education 
 and of humanity, should use his influence and 
 his means to promote so desirable an object ! 
 
 This book, which is printed phonetically, 
 
 (iii) 
 
IV PREFACE. 
 
 contains all that is important in the author's System of Elocu- 
 tion, with many additional pieces for reading and declamation. 
 
 The analysis of the vocal elements of the English language, 
 and the minute description which is given of their organic 
 formation, will be found important, not only to the American 
 who is desirous of accurate knowledge upon this subject, but 
 also to the foreigner who is learning to speak our vernacular 
 tongue. And the engravings, indicating the most favorable 
 postures of the mouth in the energetic utterance of the ele- 
 ments, will be found a valuable auxiliary in the acquisition 
 of this knowledge. 
 
 The accentual marks in common use indicate, simply, the 
 accented syllables and the inflections of the voice ; the au- 
 thor's accentual marks not only do this, but they indicate the 
 melody also. Hence, by the aid of these marks, in connection 
 with the phonetic spelling, foreigners as well as natives will 
 not only be able to pronounce every word correctly, but to 
 give to each sentence its proper elocutionary expression. 
 
 The part on gesture is extracted, principally, from Austin's 
 Chironomia, a work which is extremely rare, and one whose 
 great size and expense are insuperable obstacles to its general 
 introduction. All, however, which the Chironomia contains 
 on the subject of gesture, that is particularly valuable, is here 
 presented to the reader within the compass of a few pages. 
 
 The Reading Exercises have been taken from some of the 
 best ancient and modern authors ; and they are well adapted 
 to the purposes of the student in Elocution. They are divided 
 into paragraphs of suitable length ; and, for convenience in 
 responsive and concert reading, each paragraph is subdivided 
 into sections, by vertical bars. 
 
 But, perhaps, the reader is not acquainted with the author's 
 Alphabet, and, consequently, not able to avail himself of the 
 advantages of this work. If so, let him turn to page 16, where 
 he may learn the Alphabet in a few minutes.

 [Slow and melancholy music. The captive is discovered in the atti- 
 tude of hopeless grief: she is in chains; her eyes are fixed with a 
 vacant stare, and her hands are folded. 
 
 After a pause the jailer is seen passing through the upper gallery, 
 with a lamp : he appears at the grate, and opens the door ; the noise 
 of the bars falling rouses the captive. She looks round eagerly ; but, 
 on seeing the jailer enter, she waves her hand mournfully, and relapses 
 into her former stupor. 
 
 The jailer replenishes a jug with water, and places a loaf of bread 
 by her side. He then prepares to leave the dungeon, when the captive 
 seems to resolve on making an attempt to excite his compassion : she 
 rises from her bed of straw, clasps his hand, and sinks at his feet. The 
 music ceases, and she speaks.]

 forces his hand from her grasp, and leaves her. The bars are heard 
 replacing.]

 COMSTOCK'S PHONETIC MAGAZINE, 
 
 An important object of this w r ork is to make the people acquainted with the 
 immense advantages which would result from the adoption of a perfect alphabet 
 of the English language. To accomplish this object with ease to the reader, most 
 of the articles are in the old, as well as in the new orthography. Thus the com- 
 plexity and deformity of the one will appear the more striking, when contrasted 
 with the simplicity and beauty of the other. 
 
 The Phonetic Magazine is published monthly. It is edited by Andrew Com- 
 stock, M.D., and Monsieur Alexandre Pantoleon. It is got up in a style similar 
 to that of the first periodicals of the day, contains 24 octavo pages, and is sent 
 to subscribers at the moderate price of one dollar per annum, in~advance. Let- 
 ters (post-paidl should be directed to A. COMSTOCK, M. D.,

RECOMMENDATIONS. 
 
 To the Editor of ihp Troy Daily Whig : 
 
 Sir — You are aware that a gentleman from Philadelphia, Dr. Comstock, 
 is now giving lessons in Elocution ; but perhaps you are not aware of the 
 merits of his system or the extent of its usefulness ; it is in many respects 
 entirely original, in others founded on the investigations of the most dis- 
 tinguished vocalists. I have attended a few lessons, and am highly grati- 
 fied that I have embraced the opportunity. Some of the gentlemen who 
 have professed to teach Elocution in our city have given some satisfaction, 
 but none have been able to handle the subject as he takes it up ; his treat- 
 ment of it is simple, natural, philosophical ; he is prepared to meet any 
 case of impediment in speaking, reading, or singing. If a pupil can speak 
 or read at all, Dr. Comstock will teach him to do it well. Musicians also 
 would do well to look into his system : they will find in it exercises to give 
 force and melody to the voice that have never occurred to them. And 
 besides the improvement in singing, and that most valuable of all accom- 
 plishments, good reading, there is another to be derived from these exer- 
 cises, which is far more important than either — it promotes health. The 
 plan is so constructed as to call forth all the energies of the vocal organs — 
 the lungs particularly are fortified and invigorated by practice according 
 to his system ; and in this view of the subject I would suggest to our phy- 
 sicians, who in general evince great assiduity and skill in preventing as 
 well as removing disease, that they do so much for the public weal, as to 
 call on Dr. Comstock that they may know the advantages of the vocal 
 exercises. 
 
 It is to be regretted that Dr. Comstock will remain but a short time 
 with us; but short as it is, those who wish to profit by his instructions will 
 have time to do so. Yours, P.

 DR. COMSTOCK'S LECTURES. 
 
 Mr. Editor — Yesterday, I had the pleasure to hear an interesting Lec- 
 ture on Elocution, by Andrew Comstock, M. D. from the city of Philadel- 
 phia. He understands the elementary sounds of the English Language 
 well, and appears to have entire command over the vocal organs. He ex- 
 
 (2) 
 
RECOMM EN DAT IONS. 3 
 
 plains the movements of the voice by diagrams, and measures the varia- 
 tions of pitch by the musical scale. He has with him two books on prac- 
 tical elocution, of which he is the author — the Rhythmical Pleader, which 
 contains pieces adapted to the taste of ladies, and Practical Elocution, 
 which is designed for gentlemen. He teaches his pupils from these books 
 how to read in a graceful manner. If an individual has a feeble voice, it 
 can be strengthened ; if harsh, softened, by pursuing the course he recom- 
 mends. He clearly points out the difference between boisterous and clo. 
 quent speaking; and he shows how to produce a great effect upon a public 
 assembly, with very little effort. 
 
 The simplicity and power of the organs of speech furnish, I think, suf- 
 ficient reason for the exclamation: 
 
 "How wonderful is man ! 
 How passing wonder He 
 Who made him such. 1 ' 
 
 Whoever wishes to attain the faculty of speaking with correctness and 
 elegance, in public places, and in the social circle, would do well to call and 
 examine the system for themselves. 
 
 A Friend to the Science of speaking well. 
 
 From the Troy Daily Budget of September 8, 1834, 
 DR. COMSTOCK'S LECTURES. 
 
 Mr. Editor — There is no branch of education more deserving of public 
 attention than oratory. Volumes have been written upon it. It has been 
 cultivated, as a science, in all civilized countries; and its power has been 
 universally felt and acknowledged. Its use and importance have occupied 
 the attention of many distinguished men of our own and other countries. 
 Were it otherwise, orators could not command, as they now do, "the ap- 
 plause of listening senates." To speak well is one of the highest attain- 
 ments to which our hopes can aspire. 
 
 Permit me, Sir, to invite those who wish to attain this invaluable science, 
 to attend Dr. Comstock's Lectures on Elocution, at the Court House. His 
 manner of reading is bold, original, and striking. I have attended his 
 Lectures for several days ; and, in common with his other pupils, highly 
 appreciate them. He is, in the opinion of all who have heard him lecture, 
 a faithful, capable, and excellent elocutionist. 
 
 A Friend to Oratory. 
 
 Dr. Comstock has been instructing my pupils two hours in a day for 
 two weeks, in Elocution; and I am happy in having an opportunity to 
 bear testimony to their unexampled improvement in reading and speaking.

 ELOCUTION. 
 
 We would recommend to those individuals who wish to become chaste 
 and accomplished speakers, to take a course of instruction of Dr. Andrew 
 Comstock, whose merits as an elocutionist we have had the opportunity to 
 prove. 
 
 His system, which has the best claims to respect, will commend itself 
 to persons of taste, as it is entirely free from theatrical affectation, or arti- 
 ficial display, and founded on truth and nature. Many gentlemen in the 
 learned professions, and individuals in other spheres of life, who have 
 received the benefits of his instruction, and who are therefore the well- 
 qualified judges of his skill in this science, have given him unsolicited 
 and unqualified praise. We wish him continued success. 
 
 From the United States Gazette, May 7, 1836. 
 DR. COMSTOCK'S LECTURES ON ELOCUTION. 
 
 Mr. Editor : — Having occasion on my return from Washington to New- 
 York, to stop a few days at Philadelphia, I most cheerfully availed myself 
 of the opportunity of witnessing the exercises in Elocution in which Dr. 
 Comstock's pupils are engaged, and it affords me pleasure to say, that I 
 have been very highly gratified. 
 
 The skill with which the Doctor imparts to his pupils a knowledge of 
 the science and art of Elocution, and the proficiency which they have 
 already made, are conclusive evidences that Elocution " can be taught." 
 It was taught during the flourishing ages of Greece and Rome. Demos- 
 thenes and Cicero studied it in those republics, and studied it thoroughly 
 anterior to their successful appearance before their fellow-citizens as 
 orators. 
 
 I wish, Mr. Editor, that some of our members of Congress could, or 
 rather would, put themselves under the tuition of Dr. Comstock, or some 
 other accomplished Elocutionist, long enough, at least, to learn the princi- 
 ples upon which good reading and speaking are founded. If our national 
 legislators had a knowledge of Elocution, as taught by Dr. Comstock, they 
 certainly would be heard with much more attention and interest ; and, I 
 may add, they would be more useful to the country. 
 
 Ministers of the Gospel, too, by becoming first-rate readers and speakers, 
 can promulgate with ease and facility, the truths of Christianity. Reli- 
 gion has suffered much in consequence of the bungling manner in which 
 preachers and professors have presented it to the world. It is gratifying 
 to know that several clergymen are now taking lessons in Elocution, of 
 Dr. Comstock, and that they are making great improvement 
 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 5 
 
 It would be well for gentlemen of the legal profession, to study the laws 
 of Elocution, as well as those of the land. Ladies, too, ought to feel in- 
 terested in improving their Elocution, — some of the Philadelphia ladies 
 do ; and I have had the satisfaction of hearing one of the Doctor's classes 
 exercise, the members of which are becoming excellent readers. 
 
 There are two or three literary institutions in which Dr. Comstock's 
 valuable services have been retained. It is to be regretted that any semi- 
 nary of learning, especially any college, should exist without a professor- 
 ship of Elocution. It is not only an important branch of education, but 
 as much so as any to which the attention of youth can be directed.

 ELOCUTION. 
 
 The following communication is from the United States Gazette. The 
 subject is one of importance, and we are enabled from our own observa- 
 tion to confirm the statements of the writer. Several of our clergy have 
 attended Dr. Comstock's lectures, and consider the system which he has 
 adopted well calculated to assist in ease and propriety of reading and 
 speaking. 
 
 Mr. Editor : — Impressed with the value of education, and inclined to 
 contribute aught in my power to aid those who are in the pursuit of its 
 benefits, allow me, through your columns, to make a public expression of 
 my sentiments, regarding the character of Dr. Andrew Comstock, as a 
 teacher of Elocution, and its kindred branches. Having been a common 
 inmate in the Doctor's office for many weeks, examined his publications 
 and diagrams, and witnessed his method of instruction, with the cheering 
 success by which it has been characterised, I write understanding^ upon 
 this occasion. 
 
 From the Doctor's knowledge of our organs of speech, of their diseases 
 and remedies, and the best mode of imparting to them vigour and activity — 
 from his knowledge of the laws of sound, ample experience in his present 
 vocation, joined with his acknowledged ifttegrity, I am persuaded he is 
 eminently qualified to sustain his highest pretensions as a scientific and 
 practical Elocutionist. 
 
 Dr. Comstock's mode of instruction is founded in the philosophy of his 
 subject, is abundantly successful in its application — stands the scrutiny of 
 talents — challenges the confidence of society. 
 
 Graduates from our halls of science, gentlemen of the learned profes- 
 sions — ladies of cultivated minds, have been pleased to testify the essen- 
 tial advantage they have derived from his lectures. 
 
 I have myself been much delighted in seeing the rapid, material, and 
 ofttimes complete improvement which unfortunate stammerers have made, 
 under his tuition, in their enunciation — while teacher and pupils cordially 
 indulged in their mutual congratulations. A CLERGYMAN.

 STAMMERING CURED BY DR. COMSTOCK. 
 
 Mr. Editor : — Having experienced, to a very painful extent, the many 
 privations necessarily and peculiarly connected with inveterate stammer- 
 ing, to which I have been subject from early life, I am anxious thus to 
 acknowledge the restoration that has been effected in my case, under the 
 instruction of Dr. Comstock. Knowing, as I well do, how valuable such 
 a communication would have once been to me, I am induced to pen this 
 for the benefit of others. 
 
 My articulation, until very lately, was so embarrassing and difficult, as 
 to have, in a very great degree, shut out from me the pleasure of conver- 
 sation. I could scarcely articulate a single sentence without considerable 
 effort on my part, and apparent anxiety and pain to others. I therefore 
 seldom spoke from choice, and even avoided, when possible, the necessity 
 of doing so. I am, however, no longer subjected to these severe depriva- 
 tions, but so relieved from them, that I can now converse with friends or 
 strangers, and feel confident of my power to do so. 
 
 Many years ago, and at some expense and trouble, I sought out Mr. 
 Chapman, a teacher then of considerable notoriety, and placed myself im- 
 mediately under his care. Of him I do not complain, but notice the fact 
 as part of my experience. Those who are aware of his injunctions know 
 how impossible it is here to compare the peculiarities of his plan with the 
 principles of my last tutor's, whose system, however, I should unhesi- 
 tatingly prefer. A. EVANS. 
 
 Philadelphia, June 24, 1836. 
 
 A gentleman named Abner Evans called on me a few weeks ago, and 
 desired me to examine him, in his conversation and in his reading, 
 with reference to stammering in his speech. He informed me that he 
 was 34 years of age — that he had been an inveterate stammerer from his 
 infancy ; but that he had, about two weeks before that time, placed him- 
 self under the care of Dr. Andrew Comstock, and that he now believed 
 himself cured of the infirmity under which he had so long laboured. I 
 examined the gentleman with considerable care, and was unable to dis- 
 cover anything like stammering, or embarrassment or impediment in his 
 speech, either in conversation or reading.

 I certify, that I have known Mr. A. Evans for a number of years, that 
 he was an inveterate stammerer, and that he was completely relieved in 
 two weeks, under the instruction of Dr. Comstock. I will further add, 
 that I am intimately acquainted with Dr. C, that he has devoted several 
 years to the study of the subject which he professes to teach, and that 1 
 believe he is fully prepared to suet any case of impediment in reading or 
 speaking. JOS. P. MrSGPvAVE, M. D.

 CURE FOR STAMMERING. 
 A young- gentleman named Samuel E. Duffield, of M'Connelsburg, in 
 this state, called upon us the other day, and wished us to state that he has 
 always been subject to a natural impediment of speech, which of late years 
 had been increasing upon him. He visited this city, placed himself under 
 the care of Dr. Comstock, and has been entirely cured. He can speak and 
 read with as much fluency as though he had never been subject to any 
 impediment of speech.

 STAMMERING. 
 
 We had on Saturday the pleasure of listening to the reading, recitation 
 and discourse of a pupil of Dr. Comstock, who has been with him less 
 than three weeks, and was from his infancy a stammerer, the evil increasing 
 with the growth of the youth, and with his intercourse with society. He 
 is now able to speak and read without the least sign of hesitancy. Dr. 
 Comstock's system is simple, and, as it appears, efficacious, and he affects 
 no mystery : we trust that those who are subject to the painful inconveni- 
 ence of stammering, will apply to him ; and we really believe that if they 
 will give attention to his rules, they may be entirely cured. 
 
 From the Philadelphia Gazette, Nov. 29, 1836. 
 The following tribute to the skill of a Gentleman whose success in a 
 very difficult profession has been astonishing, is not less grateful to the ob-

 Dear Sir ; — My son has returned from the city, after an absence of about 
 four weeks, and I cannot refrain from acknowledging my unfeigned satisfac- 
 tion in the improvement of his speech. Before he left home it gave me 
 pain to hear him attempt to speak ; now I will defy any person to know 
 he had ever been a stammerer. I do cordially recommend all who have 
 an impediment in their speech, if possible to avail themselves of your sys- 
 tem for the cure of stammering. I am, with respect, yours, &c.

 STAMMERING. 
 We publish a communication from the Rev. O. C. Comstock, Chaplain 
 to Congress, upon the merits of his relative, Dr. A. COMSTOCK, of this 
 city, as a professor of Elocution. From some knowledge of the scientific 
 gentleman alluded to, and the great success which has attended his exer- 
 tions in the cure of stammering, we cordially endorse the testimony. The 
 Rev. Dr. Comstock, of Washington, being himself an eloquent divine, 
 much credit may be attached to his opinions on a topic so entirely within 
 his sphere.

 Washington, January 26, lt>37. 
 Sir — In this age of arrogant pretension and stupendous humbuggery, 
 
8 RECOMMENDATIONS. 
 
 the public should receive with becoming caution, every announcement of 
 extraordinary achievements in any of the departments of useful knowledge. 
 The wonderful exploits of ignorant and unprincipled pretenders, are fre- 
 quently lauded to the skies, in the newspaper paragraphs of anonymous 
 writers. Disdaining to impose on honest credulity, by making an asser- 
 tion where I cannot establish a fact — indisposed to avoid any responsibility, 
 that may be attached to my character, I will not be induced to do so upon 
 this occasion, by withholding my humble name from this article, in con- 
 sequence of the delicate collateral relation subsisting between myself and 
 the talented and honourable gentleman to whom it alludes — I mean Dr. A. 
 Comstock, of Philadelphia. The Dr. before and since his graduation at the 
 university of Pennsylvania, has been muchemployed in theeducation of youth. 
 
 The books and diagrams which he has published, illustrating the true 
 principles of elocution, and the methods by which it can be most successfully 
 taught — the high state of improvement witnessed and admired, in the voice, 
 reading and speaking of his pupils, render him deservedly celebrated as 
 an elocutionist, wherever his reputation is known. 
 
 But I should not have obtruded these remarks upon the consideration of 
 your readers, would they not conduce to a better understanding of the follow- 
 ing intelligence, which I hope may subserve the interests of suffering 
 humanity. 
 
 My friend has removed, in numbers of unfortunate stammerers, that most 
 embarrassing and painful difficulty of enunciation with which they have 
 been affected. Some of these sufferers had been long schooled by others, 
 with reference to the removal of this calamity, with little or no success. 
 
 That a cure, in this case, is an object most ardently to be desired, is deeply 
 felt by every victim of this misfortune — by every fond parent, who, but for 
 stammering, might regard his darling boy a fair candidate for the highest 
 academic honours — the applause of listening Senates. There is now before 
 my mental vision a lovely boy of great promise, on whom his parents design 
 to bestow a finished education ; but who, alas ! was painfully afflicted with 
 stammering. He is now, however, under the tuition of Dr. Comstock, greatly 
 improving in his elocution ; inspiring the confident expectation of perfect 
 victory over the source of so much unhappiness. The sparkling animation 
 of his eye — his cheering smiles — express the rapture of his grateful heart. 
 The thankfulness and joyful anticipation of his parents cannot be described, 
 or even imagined, but by those in similar circumstances. 
 
 Having spent some months with my relative, I am well acquainted with 
 his system, and manner of instruction, and its delightful results. 
 
 Unlike all sorts of imposture, there is no affectation of superlative wisdom 
 held as a profound secret, in the theory and practice of this valuable art — 
 as triumphantly explored and applied by the Doctor. His course of opera- 
 tion is founded in an extensive knowledge of his subject — the fruit of his 
 ample study and practice. His discipline developes, invigorates, and ren- 
 ders flexible the organs of speech. He teaches his pupils how these organs 
 are to be properly exercised. They arc made obedient to the will — capable 
 of much and various accomplishments. In short, he cures stammerers, by 
 teaching them scientific and practical elocution. 
 
 How much reason have we to rejoice in the march of mind — the efforts 
 of philanthropv — the benevolence of God. Yours, with respect, 
 
 O. C. COMSTOCK.

 Having been present on the 10th inst at the exercises of the pupils in Dr. 
 Andrew Comstock's Gymnasium, for the improvement of the voice and of 
 the articulation in stammerers and others, the impression made upon me was 
 highly favourable to his method of instruction. 
 
 The system is founded upon an exact anatomical and physiological inform- 
 ation, in regard to the organs concerned in the production and modification 
 of sound. Its several parts appear to have been evolved and matured upon a 
 degree of thought and an extent of experiment reflecting much credit upon 
 his sagacity and industry, and it inspires a very strong confidence of it's ap- 
 plicability to the faults generally of speech or phonation. One of his pupils, 
 who only a week before the occasion alluded to, had been a most unpleasant 
 stammerer, was then heard to recite publicly with great ease and fluency, 
 with a full intonation. W. E. HORNER, M. D.

 from personal experience, of his imperfection in vocal utterance and speech. 
 We are taught to read and to express ourselves grammatically in conversa- 
 tion ; but how few learn suitable intonation, and a full and a distinct utter- 
 ance, — by which speech obtains much of its charm and acquires often all its 
 influence. Graceful gestures in walking and dancing, and in presenting 
 one's self in company, are thought by many to be of paramount importance; 
 and hence, as a matter of course, the majority of young persons of both sexes 
 are placed under the direction of a teacher of dancing. And yet, after all, 
 what are the graces of manner compared to the melody of voice; and how 
 imperfect the address of the otherwise accomplished gentleman or lady, with- 
 out full and mellifluous speech ! Nature here, as in all that concerns either 
 bodily or mental endowment, does, it is true, establish great differences 
 amongst individuals. One person has, naturally, a musical voice, as it is 
 called ; another a harsh or somewhat dissonant one. But still, education pos-

 scsses, we also know, a good deal of plastic power ; and in no case is the in- 
 fluence of physical education more evident than in the strength which exer 
 cise gives to the muscles in general, and in the agility and grace which prac- 
 tice imparts to the movements of the limbs; as in the evolutions of the dance, 
 and on the tight rope, &c. On the same principle precisely, without any 
 charm, magic or mystification, can the muscles which, by their successive or 
 alternate and combined action, give rise to voice and speech, be educated intc 
 strength and measured and harmonious movement, and produce clear and 
 full intonation, distinct articulation, and emphatic utterance. 
 
 This particular department of muscular exercise and education, has greater 
 claims on our time and attention than any other. The organs of speech, with 
 few unfortunate exceptions, are possessed by all mankind ; they are in con- 
 stant use by all, — their functions are of the highest moment to all, whether 
 for the display of the charms of song and poetry, the persuasion of oratory, 
 the invocation of prayer, and the numberless exchanges of opinion and ex- 
 pression of the affections and emotions in social intercourse. The most rigid 
 puritan or methodist, who would regard with distaste, perhaps horror, the ex- 
 ercises of the dance, and attach no importance to the graces of bodily move- 
 ment, will still be as naturally and properly desirous of cultivating the voice, 
 as the greatest stickler for worldly accomplishments. He does it in learning 
 to sing the praises of his Maker, and when engaged in the solemn exercises 
 of prayer and exhortation. 
 
 With the other sex, the charm of voice is a powerful means of persuasion 
 and control. It gives to woman much of her influence — an influence de- 
 pending on the mildness of her manner, and her soft and musical tones, dis- 
 played in the language of sympathy, entreaty, and of kind remonstrance. 
 Her's is the privilege and the duty to be at the side of the suffering invalid, 
 in infancy, in youth, and in mature age ; to comfort the mourner, and to aid 
 the poor and distressed. And what makes the potions to the feverish patient 
 less nauseous — what gives balm to the language of resignation, and imparts 
 the glow of pleasure to the wan and weary beggar, when she is, in each 
 case, the ministering angel ! Much is in the pitying look, much in the in- 
 clining gesture and softened manner ; but still more in the tones of her voice, 
 her low and smoothly uttered words of solace and of hope. 
 
 Why then should this instrument, which is capable of giving out such ex- 
 quisite music, be jarred and discordant in its tones, through early neglect and 
 bad habits. It has been said by European travellers of both sexes, that Amer- 
 ican women would be in all respects charming, but for their want of melody 
 of voice in common speech. Surely this stigma, for such in one sense it is, 
 might be, and ought to be removed, just as the flutter, agitation, and jerking 
 movements of the body and limbs would be corrected, by appropriate exercise 
 and training under tasteful guidance and precept. 
 
 Still more necessary is this kind of education where the imperfection 
 amounts to disease, as in hesitancy, stammering, and other imperfect articu- 
 lation. The cure requires time, patience on the part both of the invalid and 
 of the vocal doctor, and practice in the manner which scientific experience, 
 not impudent and boastful quackery, has shown to be most serviceable, so as 
 to give that confidence which is the result of conscious ability. The timidity 
 and feeling of embarrassment of the stammerer, are both effects and sustain- 
 ing causes of his impediment. So soon as he knows that his vocal organs

 are capable of obeying the commands of his will, and of giving expression 
 to his thoughts, his mind acts with more energy and intentness ; and he no 
 longer allows himself to be trammelled in his speech, by the weak, tremulous 
 and convulsive movements of the muscles, which, under less energetic voli- 
 tion, used to be so common with him. 
 
 When we wrote the caption of this article, we did not intend to direct the 
 attention of our professional brethren merely to the existing evils, but were 
 desirous to apprize them of the fact, that one of our own number has for many 
 years past concentrated his talents and his time exclusively to the subject of 
 Elocution, both in its hygienic relations with fluent speech in private and 
 public, in the social circle and at the bar, the pulpit and the legislative hall ; 
 and, also, in its curative character, to remove stammering and other impedi- 
 ments to clear and distinct articulation and utterance. The gentleman to 
 whom we refer, is Dr. Andrew Comstock of this city. He makes no preten- 
 sion to a knowledge of any specific for the cure of stammerers, nor does he 
 attempt to shroud his method in unintelligible jargon, nor to conceal it from 
 public and scientific investigation, by swearing his pupils to secrecy. All 
 these are arts and tricks unworthy of the literary and professional character, 
 and disreputable, above all, to him who professes to be a teacher, and in whom 
 manly sincerity ought ever to shine conspicuously, as an example to those 
 under his charge. * 
 
 In Doctor Comstock's Institution, " Elocution is treated as a science as well 
 as an art. The various movements of the voice, both in speech and song, 
 are illustrated by original diagrams, and by oral instruction. The exercises 
 give the pupil complete command of the muscles of articulation, extend the 
 compass of the voice and render it smooth, powerful, and melodious. They 
 not only call forth all the energies of the vocal organs, correct stammering, 
 lisping, and other impediments of speech ; but they invigorate the lungs, and 
 consequently fortify them against the invasion of disease." To a certain ex- 
 tent, general is associated with vocal gymnastics ; and one great cause of em- 
 barrassment from awkwardness of manner and posture in the stammerer, is 
 removed by the substitution of a free and easy carriage and movements of the 
 arms in gesticulation. In other words, all the voluntary muscles of the trunk 
 and limbs move in the order required by the will, synchronously and harmo- 
 niously with those of the voice. 
 
 In proof that Doctor Comstock is above the petty arts of making elocution 
 a mere craft and mystery, we have now before us, Remarks on Stammering, 
 from a Lecture on Elocution, delivered before the American Lyceum, May 6, 
 1 837, in which he explains the chief features of his system, and indicates the 
 kind and order of exercises to be pursued for the cure of Stammerers. But 
 like all other branches of professional knowledge, this can only be rendered 
 efficient and applicable to the cure of individual cases by a practitioner, a 
 person who directs knowingly and understandingly, and superintends care- 
 fully and patiently, the treatment, making such modifications as seem to be 
 called for by his own personal experience and the idiosyncracy of the patient.

 Remarks on Stammering. — We have received a small pamphlet with this 
 title, being- the substance of a lecture delivered before the American Lyceum, 
 May 6, 1837, by Andrew Comstock, M. D., of this city. He has treated his 
 subject scientifically, and in a manner showing 1 that he understands the 
 human voice both theoretically and practically. He has been engaged for ten 
 years, investigating the human voice, for the purpose of forming a system of 
 just elocution, and of removing impediments of speech; and from reading 
 this little pamphlet, we should infer that he had been successful.

 Dear Sir, — Before leaving your city, allow me to express to you the perfect 
 satisfaction I feel, in witnessing the progress which my son has made in 
 Elocution under your instruction. 
 
 The habit of stammering which commenced with his early efForts to speak, 
 and which thirteen years (his present age) seemed only to confirm, is now, 
 with six weeks' instruction, completely eradicated. 
 
 Though delighted beyond expression in this result, I am not disappointed. 
 From the moment I became acquainted with your method of instruction, I 
 did not doubt its entire success. Founded on scientific principles, it must 
 succeed in all cases where there is no malformation of the organs of speech. 
 
 You have reduced to a system what before was but imperfectly understood, 
 and done most essential service to mankind in elevating a numerous class of 
 unfortunate fellow- beings, and saved them from the impositions of ignorant 
 and unprincipled empirics. 
 
 Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

 Messrs. Editors, — Being about to leave this city for the West, I would 
 thank you to give publicity to my testimony as to the skill of Dr. Andrew 
 Comstock, No. 100, Arch street, Philadelphia, in removing stammering. I 
 have been under his care about eight weeks, for the removal of a painful 
 impediment of eighteen years, standing, which debarred me from the plea- 
 sures of conversation and social intercourse. I can now converse very 
 fluently, and have addressed large audiences without the least hesitation. 
 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 13 
 
 I am now 23 years of age, and you can judge of my gratitude to him for 
 removing a complaint which has embittered the greatest part of my life. I 
 take great pleasure in recommending him to those similarly afflicted. His 
 system being founded on scientific principles, and the fact of his being the 
 only individual in America, who professes the cure of stammering, without 
 enacting from his patient a promise of secrecy, proves that his system will 
 bear investigation.

 Messrs. Editors, — About seven weeks since I placed myself under the 
 care of Dr. Andrew Comstock, No. 100, Arch street, Philadelphia, for the 
 removal of an impediment in my speech, with which I had been afflicted for 
 thirteen years. I am now happy to state that I am able to converse with 
 ease and fluency, and that I feel no hesitation in speaking in public. I have 
 witnessed the same happy results in many other cases, both of ladies and 
 gentlemen. I have not a doubt of his success in curing the most inveterate 
 stammerer. Unlike all others who have professed to cure stammering in this 
 country, Dr. Comstock exacts no promise of secrecy from his patient.

 Our acquaintance with the young gentleman mentioned below, who has 
 received the benefit of Dr. Comstock's treatment in the cure of an impedi- 
 ment of speech under which he laboured, enables us to bear evidence of the 
 efficacy of that treatment. Since his return from Philadelphia, where he 
 had been under Dr. Comstock's care for a short time, we find that his speech 
 is free and easy ; so much so, that had we not been aware of the great diffi- 
 culty under which he laboured before, we should not now know that he ever 
 had been cured of such an affliction.

 A GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL. 
 
 The subjoined letter to Dr. Comstock, Professor of Elocution, of this city, 
 is from a young gentleman of great respectability, residing at Cumberland, 
 Allegany county, Maryland, where his father is one of the leading prac- 
 titioners at the bar. The writer of the letter, who, we believe, is a student 
 at law, laboured under a serious impediment in speech, which would have 
 greatly interfered with his professional advancement; but it appears from his 
 own statement, that under the care of Dr. Comstock, he was completely and 
 radically cured. The letter subjoined, is a voluntary and grateful testimonial 
 to that effect. 
 
 Cumberland, Md., April 20, 1838. 
 Dr. Andrew Comstock : 
 
 Dear Sir, — I have deferred giving a certificate with regard to the success 
 I met with in my recent visit to your Institution, No. 100, A rc h street, Phi- 
 ladelphia, for the purpose of removing an impediment in my speech, until 
 the present period, that I might thoroughly test the effects of your system 
 upon my articulation by time and experience. Both of these, I am happy 
 to inform you, find me now — as was the case when I left Philadelphia on 
 the 13th of February last — perfectly fluent in reading as well as in conversa- 
 tion — so much so, that it would be impossible for any one who had no pre- 
 vious knowledge of my impediment, to know that any such defect ever 
 afflicted rne. 
 
 But besides the happy effect your system has had in relieving my impedi- 
 ment, it has been of incalculable benefit to me in many other respects. My 
 voice, which was formerly weak, and incapable of being raised very little 
 higher than the ordinary tone used in common conversation, has been 
 greatly improved and strengthened ; and now it costs me but a slight 
 physical effort to fill a considerable space. 
 
 In conclusion, I unhesitatingly recommend all those similarly afflicted, to 
 make a trial of your system. Besides the success which has attended it in 
 my own case, I have seen many others greatly benefited — both ladies and 
 gentlemen. This speaks more strongly in its favour than words can express, 
 and should remove all doubt from the minds of individuals, if any exist, as 
 to its efficacy in effecting a cure. 
 
 Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

 We always thought Dr. Comstock's system for the cure of Stammer- 
 ing a sealed book, because it was so certain ; be has, however, in the 
 plenitude of his benevolence, and for a small consideration, surrendered 
 his knowledge and experience for the more general benefit of the world. 
 He has here collected and widely diffused all that he has heretofore pub- 
 lished upon this subject, and by well-executed plates illustrated what is 
 not, as well as what is correct in gesture, &c, for which we doubt not 
 the heads of our public schools will be duly grateful, as affording them 
 facilities and suggestions in a very important branch of education, 
 which they could not before command. 
 
 The eminent success of Dr. C. in his practical teachings, is the only 
 commendation the present work can require, and we understand its 
 merits are fully appreciated, if we are to judge from an extensive de- 
 mand by several of our most distinguished Professors. 
 
 We may also remark, that the work is enriched by numerous selec- 
 tions from the writings of the most celebrated authors, to be spoken in 
 the elocutionary exercises, with marks indicating the proper time of 
 emphasis. Saturday Courier, Philadelphia, Dec. 11, 1841. 
 
 A good system for breaking up the stiff jaws of a speaker, and round- 
 ing the sharp angles in his uncouth gestures — two embarrassments 
 under which many labour, and which few thoroughly overcome. We 
 may laugh at Dr. Comstock's mouths and gestures as much as we 
 please, but it is only by such mouths and gestures that one becomes a 
 graceful speaker. North American, Philadelphia, Dec. 11, 1841. 
 
 Dr. Comstock has devoted many years sedulously to the study of 
 Elocution, not merely as a declamatory art, but as a science compre- 
 hending all the phenomena of the voice, and the means by which it may 
 be most successfully cultivated for all the purposes of speaking. We 
 have examined, with some attention, the first part of Dr. Comstock's 
 book, and find that in treating of elementary sounds, he advances pre- 
 cepts evincing an intelligent analysis of vocal utterance, — a subject very 
 lightly passed over in ordinary text-books upon Elocution. The whole 
 subject of the book appears to have been digested with equal knowledge 
 and care, and we would commend to teachers the adoption of his sys- 
 tem, as based upon a true comprehension of the powers and uses of the 
 organs of speech, and the modes of graceful and appropriate action in 
 oratorical exercises. Various plates illustrate the text, and enable intel- 
 ligent readers to apprehend the principles of oral delivery and gesture 
 without the aid of a special preceptor. 
 
 National Gazette, Philadelphia, Dec. 13, 1841. 
 
 The experience of Dr. Comstock as a Professor of Elocution, and his 
 eminent success in the cure of stammering and other defects of speech, 
 as well as the warm commendations of gentlemen in whose judgment 
 the utmost reliance may be placed, justify us in recommending this 
 work to all who are desirous of acquiring the art of reading or speaking 
 with ease, grace and power.

 We have found time to look with some care into Dr. Comstock's text 
 book, and have been led to admire the plan and general execution. The 
 author has brought to his subject a willing mind, " and long experience 
 makes him sage." 
 
 Numerous pieces of great strength, are illustrated for gesticulation, 
 by engravings that are well executed, and which give a very correct 
 idea to the reader of the motions to be used in an open, free reading of 
 the speech. 
 
 The remarks and notation of the compiler are excellent, and give, so 
 far as we could examine, a correct view of the pauses, volume of voice, 
 and accentuation. 
 
 We commend Dr. Comstock's volume to the consideration of teachers 
 and of learners. United States Gazette, Philadelphia, Dec. 14, 1841. 
 
 We have a distinct recollection of a tall, smiling gentleman, who, 
 when we were a white-pated shaver going to school, used to come tri- 
 weekly to the academy, and standing up duly before us, make us ges- 
 ticulate, pronounce, read, and deliver speeches until we thought our arms 
 would be jerked from their sockets, or that our lungs at least would give 
 way. But we are living still, and so is our smiling friend Dr. Corn- 
 stock. He has turned author too, and our table even now 'bears witness 
 to that fact, in the presence of an admirable treatise on elocution by our 
 former teacher. 
 
 No man, perhaps, in the United States understands so well how to 
 cure stammering as Dr. Comstock. His success in this department has 
 been almost miraculous. Yet he does not seek to hide his secret " un- 
 der a bushel," but, with true benevolence, has made it public in the 
 work before us. The volume also treats generally of elocution, gesticu- 
 lation, &c. &c, and should be the study of every one desirous of be- 
 coming an orator, or even of reading well. The work is illustrated by 
 numerous figures, displaying every position to be assumed in pronoun- 
 cing a speech. Indeed, we have never seen a more complete treatise 
 of the kind, and we cordially recommend it to parents, teachers, and 
 others, as a work especially deserving support. Next to the privilege 
 of being a pupil of the doctor is the privilege of purchasing his book. 
 Saturday Evening Post, Philadelphia, Dec. 18, 1841. 
 
 The system of Dr. Comstock is peculiar, and we cannot speak intel- 
 ligently on it, because it cannot be understood without a study, which 
 we are unable to give to it. We can however say, that it appears to us 
 to be founded on philosophical principles, and to be exceedingly well 
 illustrated in parts which we readily comprehend. Dr. Comstock is not 
 a mere theorist ; he is eminently a practical man, and in the application 
 of his principles he has been very successful in developing the powers 
 of elocution, and in the cure of defective exercise of the organs of speech. 
 Presbyterian, Philadelphia, Dec. 18, 1841. 
 
 This work contains some new and plausible principles, and it is em-

 This is one of the most elaborate works on Elocution ever published 
 in our country, containing the results of much study and attention to 
 the subject, and a thorough acquaintance with the philosophy of the 
 human voice. Its several parts are systematically arranged — and its 
 rules are illustrated to the eye by numerous diagrams. It is well adapt- 
 ed to meet the wants of schools and colleges as well as to direct private 
 individuals, who would improve themselves in reading and speaking. 
 Christian Observer, Philadelphia, Jan. 7, 1842. 
 
 The politeness of the author has placed before us his " System of 
 Elocution," but from a hurried glance at its contents, we are not able 
 to say as much for it as its merits demand ; however, we have seen suffi- 
 cient to be enabled to recommend it particularly to the heads of families 
 and schools, who cannot fail to find it an invaluable auxiliary in the 
 various subjects of which it treats. Its divisions comprise Elocution, 
 Vocal Gymnastics, Gesture, Practical Elocution, being exercises in arti- 
 culation, pitch, force, time and gesture, and exercises in reading and 
 declamation. The engravings are exceedingly numerous, and admira- 
 bly adapted to the purposes for which they are designed. 
 
 Catholic Herald, Philadelphia, Jan. 20, 1842. 
 
 Dr. Comstock has been long and favourably known in this city, and 
 elsewhere, as a distinguished and successful teacher of Elocution. His 
 system views that important, yet so sadly neglected, branch of education, 
 as both a science and an art. His principles are founded on truth and 
 nature, and in their practical application he is evidently master of his 
 subject. Friends, in whose judgment we place reliance, speak of him 
 as a teacher in terms of high commendation. The work we have just 
 noticed is a new edition, with special reference to gesture, to the treat- 
 ment of stammering, and defective articulation ; comprising numerous 
 diagrams and engraved figures, illustrative of the subject.

 I take great pleasure in recommending Dr. Comstock's System of 
 Elocution. A practical acquaintance with the system, and with the 
 instructions of its author, enables me to speak with confidence of the 
 high superiority of this treatise, and of the ample qualifications of its 
 author as an instructor in the art of speaking. 
 
 His course of instruction is exactly adapted to the cure of stammerers; 
 and my personal knowledge of the cure of those who have been thus 
 afflicted, warrants me in particularly recommending such individuals to 
 place themselves under the tuition of Dr. Comstock.

 I take pleasure in stating that Dr. A. Comstock taught Elocution in 
 my school during the whole of last year, and that his System of Elocu- 
 tion was used as a text-book. I consider it a work of very great merit, 
 admirably adapted to the end for which it was designed. The principles 
 of the science are laid down with clearness and ability in the First Part ; 
 and the selections for practice in the Second Part are made with excel- 
 lent judgment. It is a work every way worthy of the public patronage. 
 
 The progress of the pupils in my school under Dr. Comstock's in- 
 struction was altogether satisfactory. He fully sustained his high repu- 
 tation as a teacher of practical elocution.

 S. W. CRAWFORD. 
 
 From the Pennsylvania Law Journal, Dec. 10, 1842. 
 
 We acknowledge the receipt of a copy of this valuable work ; and 
 although a treatise on elocution cannot be regarded as a law-book, the 
 subject of vocal delivery is so nearly connected with the practice of the 
 law, that we willingly accord to this volume a notice in our Journal. 
 
 Doctor Comstock has been long known to both the editors as a suc- 
 cessful teacher of the subjects treated in his book. He has, perhaps, 
 paid greater and more intelligent attention to defects of articulation, and 
 to the cure of them, than any other person in the United States. And 
 while certificates from Professor W. E. Horner, and other members of 
 
19 
 
 the faculty, attest that Dr. Comstock's " System is founded upon an 
 exact anatomical and physiological information in regard to the organs 
 concerned in the production and modification of sound," numberless 
 testimonials from pupils residing in every part of the Union, show that 
 he has been equally successful in the more rare, though not less im- 
 portant part of the teacher's office; we mean, imparting his science 
 with practical effect. A long and intimate acquaintance with the Dr. 
 enables the editors to vouch for the truth of what is thus attested, and 
 yet more, to bear a ready testimonial to Dr. Comstock's merits as an 
 amiable, gentlemanly, and conscientious man. 
 
 We have, indeed, often lamented the gross, and, to an ear of any 
 susceptibility, the distressing inattention to delivery so generally pre- 
 valent in the pulpits and at the bar, in this country. How surprising, 
 in this day of almost universal accomplishment, that in professions 
 whose common object is persuasion through the medium of the voice, 
 the management of " this mighty instrument for touching the heart of 
 man," should be so much disregarded ! should be treated in one pro- 
 fession as useless, in the other as almost impious ! 
 
 How many a divine, whose sermon was replete with learning, with 
 piety, with all the refinements of graceful composition, has sent away a 
 ready (perhaps an anxious) hearer, disgusted with the unimpressive, 
 nay, sometimes the sickening manner in which the preacher's senti- 
 ments were delivered ! while a Maffet or a Kirk is followed by thou- 
 sands whose slumbering sensibilities are first awakened to the majesty 
 of the gospel truth, by the commanding power of an impressive voice ! 
 
 How many a jury has thought a speaker's argument without force, 
 because his manner was so; and have found a verdict against law and 
 against evidence, because they had been charmed into delusion by the 
 potent fascination of some gifted orator ! 
 
 Who, indeed, that has listened to the ennobled voice of Kemble, to 
 the chastened recitation of a Wood, to the air-dropt accents of Mrs. 
 Seymour, or the sternly pleasing power of Ellen Tree; who, that, seek- 
 ing a better school, may have hearkened to the unsurpassed discourses 
 of a Wainwright, rising, now, to fervour almost apostolic, sometimes 
 sinking into gentleness unearthly, has not acknowledged the power of 
 educated tone to awaken an eloquent response from the chords of human 
 feeling ? Who has not felt, on such occasion, " that when, in connection 
 with a more careful culture of our moral being, the voice shall be trained 
 to a more perfect manifestation of its powers, a charm, hitherto unfelt, 
 will be lent to the graceful pleasures of life, and an influence of almost 
 untried efficacy to its serious occasions !" 
 
 Let, then, our preachers leave the towering heights of their divinity, 
 and strive to present its humbler truths in more graceful garb. Let our 
 lawyers, not neglecting the weightier matters of the law, attend to 
 those embellishments of argument which, with half our race, often prove 
 more effective than argument itself. 
 
 The Author acknowledges the receipt of a recommendation from J. 
 E. Murdoch, Esq., the well-known elocutionist of Boston ; and he regrets 
 that want of room prevents its insertion here. Mr. Murdoch has adopted 
 the work as a text-book in his Vocal and Athletic Institute.

 Dear Sir — I have very carefully read the " System of Elocution," 
 &c. published by you. Indeed, ever since I have become acquainted 
 with the work, I have made it a book of reference on that subject. It 
 seems to me admirably well adapted to the purposes for which it is de- 
 signed. I have, indeed, no experience in the treatment of" stammering," 
 or "defective articulation." But your rules for their cure appear very 
 natural, and I think cannot fail, in ordinary cases, to be successful. For 
 myself, I can say that I have derived from your work, some hints that 
 have been most useful to me as a public speaker. I hope the book will 
 be appreciated as it deserves, and that you will go on to reap a rich har- 
 vest of reputation and profit from your valuable labours in that much 
 neglected, but very important art. 
 
 Very respectfully, your ob't serv't,

 We have used Dr. Comstock's Systeji of Elocution for some time in 
 our schools, and we do not hesitate to give it the preference to any system 
 with which we are acquainted.

 We have examined Dr. Comstock's System of Elocution with some 
 care, and we are fully persuaded that it is better adapted to assist 
 pupils in acquiring a correct, easy and forcible enunciation than any 
 other work with which we are acquainted.

 From "The Greek Boy and the Sunday- School,* 
 
 BY C.PLATO CASTANIS, OF SCIO, GREECE, 
 
 Author of Interpretations of Grecian Mythology, Essay on the Ancient 
 and Modern Greek Languages, &c. 
 
 The most difficult study encountered by the Greeks,* 
 was the English spelling. As the present English 
 alphabet has not a letter for every sound, it is open to 
 improvement. The labyrinth of absurdities vexing 
 our youthful minds with orthographic intricacies, made 
 us pity the nation oppressed by it. What a sacrifice 
 of time to learn so many unphilosophical combinations 
 of unfixed characters, representing almost any thing 
 or nothing. The words though, tough, plough, trough, 
 fought, slough, seemed like sphinxes, not of wisdom,but 
 of literary caprice and inconsistency. How could a 
 foreigner ever be expected to learn the English lan- 
 guage, when few natives can spell it with propriety ? 
 Thanks to the progress of improvement, a new alpha- 
 bet has been formed for the English language, both in 
 England and America. One of the first champions 
 in the reform is Dr. Comstock of Philadelphia. His 
 labours to give to his native tongue a better set 
 of characters, will cause his name to be cherished by 
 the young. His alphabet is the most perfect formed. 
 As steamboats owed their practical application to Ful- 
 ton, so it seems that Comstock is destined to render his 
 alphabet practical by his generous expenditures and 
 writings. His ably conducted Phonetic Magazine 
 should be in the hands of every youth. 
 
 Had we not been impeded by the arduous tasks in 
 spelling, we should have had vastly more time for other 
 studies. With Comstock's alphabet, there would have 
 been no need of learning how to spell, because each 
 letter represents a sound, and when the word is pro- 
 nounced, it is spelt. The very act of sounding a word 
 is only the utterance of so many consecutive letters. 
 The people will spread this reform, which is so needed

 among Pagans. 
 
 The Greek language furnishes signs to express the 
 th hard and soft, e short, and the long o. Comstock 
 very judiciously uses those characters, and by this 
 means assists the Greek as well as the American in 
 pronouncing English. The phrase " Otho, the king," 
 is written " oSw, 8s Kir)." The beauty and brevity of 
 the new method is self-evident.

 The Phonetic Reader, Elocution, and Charts of Elementary 
 Sounds, by Andrew Comstock, M. D. — The author of these 
 works has spent twenty years in the study of the subjects of 
 which they treat, and is probably the best known and the 
 most successful practical elocutionist in the country. He was 
 the first to arrange in tabular and systematic forms, the ele- 
 ments of our language ; and most, if not all, of the numerous 
 phonological charts which have appeared, are essentially tran- 
 scripts from, though not improvements of this author's works. 
 In their latest editions, Comstock's books and charts are, beyond 
 question, unsurpassed by any thing of their kind which has 
 yet been offered the public. Besides the great facilities which 
 they afford for habits of correct, elegant, and effective reading 
 and speaking, they present also, in graceful and attractive 
 forms, many of those fundamental moral and political truths, 
 on the right apprehension and practical application of which, 
 by the mass of our people, depend the support and perpetuity 
 of our free institutions. They also contemplate a thorough 
 reformation in our anomalous and barbarous orthography.
