C. SHERMAN, i'R INTER. - 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- S^ 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. A. COMSTOCK, July 4, 1846. No. 100 Mulberry Street, Philada. KONTENTS. 0XQRETXKA.L PART.

COMSTOCK'S YOCAL GYMNASIUM, No. 102 AKCH STREET, PHILADELPHIA. This Institution, which has heen in successful operation since 1828, is designed for the Promotion of Health, the Core of Stammering and Defective Articulation, for Instruction in Elocution and Phonetics, and for the Acquisition of Ancient and Modern Languages. In this Institution, Elocution is treated as a science, as well as an art. The various movements of the voice, hoth in speech and song, are illustrated by original diagrams and by oral instruction. The exercises give the pupil complete command of the mus- cles of articulation, extend th? 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, aud, consequently, fortify them against the invasion of disease. The vocal exercises are not unfrequently accompanied by gesticulation, or the use of the dumbbells. Hence, to a certain extent, general gymnastics are associated with those of the voice; and awkwardness of manner and posture is removed by the substitution of rhetorical grace. In other words, all the voluntary muscles of the trunk and limbs are so trained as to move in the order required by the will, synchronously and harmoni- ously with those of the voice.

It is to be regretted that Dr. Cornstock 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. August 15, 1834.

Fwm the Troy Daily Whig of August 30, 1834. DR. COMSTOCK'S LECTURES. Mr. Editor. — Yesterday, I had the pleasure to hear an interesting Lec- ture on Elocution, by Andrew Cornstock, 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- (7) 8 RECOMMENDATIONS. plains the movements of the voice by diagrams, and measures the varla. 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 Reader, 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 r^ad 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 eUu 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." 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, M 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 G. W. Francis. Troy, September 5, 1835 RECOMMENDATIONS. ' 9 From the Philanthropist, Philadelphia, January 16, 1836. 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 aa 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. 10 RECOMMENDATIONS. 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. Cornstock'fl valuable services have been retained. It is to be regretted that any semi- nary of learning, especially any college, should exist without a professor- ehip of Elocution. It is not only an important branch of education, bu as much so as any to which the attention of youth can be directed. S. N. S. CJ. S. Hotel, May 2, 1836. From the Episcopal Recorder, Rev. George A. Smith, Editor. Philadelphia, Saturday Morning, June 18, 183G. 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 understandingly 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 integrity, 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 hia 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 ofttiine? complete improvement which unfortunate stammerers have made, under his tuition, in their enunciation — while teacher and pupils cordially indulged in theii mutual congratulations. A CLERGYMAN RECOMMENDATIONS. From the U. S. Gazette. 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, wdiose 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 i» conversation or reading. JOHN H. WILLITS. July 15th, 1836. 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 meet any case of impediment in reading or peaking JOS. P. MUSGRAVE, M. D. No. 142, Pine Street, Phila,, July 16, 1836 12 RECOMMENDATIONS. From the Public Ledger, July 27, 1837. 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 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. From the United States Gazette. Congress Hall, Philadelphia, Nov. 25, 1837. Andrew Comstock, M. D. 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, E. PIERCE, M.D. of Athens, N.Y. From the Public Ledger, March 17, 1838. STAMMERING CURED. Philadelphia, March 1, 1838. 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 roe from the plea- sures of conversation and social intercourse. I can novv 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. WM. R. COMBS. We certify that we have been intimately acquainted with Wm. R. Combs for the last three years ; that he was a very bad stammerer, and that he was entirely relieved under the instruction of Dr. Andrew Comstock, of No. 100, Arch street, Philadelphia. John R. Beck, No. 17, Elizabeth st. Thomas J. White, No. 380, N. Second st Jacob Grim, No. 480, N. Third st. Thomas P. Heyl, No. 173, Green st STAMMERING CURED. Philadelphia, March 9, 1838. 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. HENRY J. ENNIS, No. 248, Pearl street, New- York. From the Phoenix Civilian, Cumberland, Md., May 19, 1838. 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. 14 RECOMMENDATIONS. From the Pennsylvunian, Philadelphia, April 26, 1838. 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, Arch 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 — s0 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 me. 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, CHARLES H J. PIGMAN. RECOMMENDATIONS. 15 From the Philadelphia Saturday Courier, October 29, 1836. 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 haa been increasing upon him. He visited this city, placed himself under the care of Dr. Com stock, 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. From the United States Gazette, Philadelphia, Oct. 31 $ 1836. 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. Com stock'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- ject of it himself, than it is useful to the public at large. We perform a general benefit by giving it currency through the press. Letter to Dr. Comstock, of Philadelphia. M'Connelsburg, Nov. 13, 1836. Dear Sir ; — My son has returned from the city, after an absence of about four \veeks,and I caunot 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. . WILLIAM DUFFIELD. From the United States Gazette. 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. Latter to the Editor, from the Rev. O. C. Comstock, Chaplain to Congress. Washington, January 26, 1831. Sir —In this age of arrogant pretension and stupendous humbuggery 16 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 are 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 efTorta of philanthropy — the benevolence of God. Yours, with respect, O. C. COMSTOCK RECOMMENDATIONS. 17 Certificates from Professor Horner and Professor Hare, of the bniver* sity of Pennsylvania. Having been present on the 10th inst. at the exercises of the pupils in Dr indrew 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 upen 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 its 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.

COMSTOCK'S VOCAL GYMNASIUM AND LYCEUM FOR ELOCUTION. It is not necessary that a man should be a stammerer, in order to be aware, 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 IS RECOMMENDATIONS. sesses, 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 an) charm, magic or mystification, can the muscles which, by their successive or alternate and combined action, give rise to voice and speech, be educated into 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 RECOMMENDATIONS. 19 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. \Vhen 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 Comstoek'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 associuted 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 Stammerings from a Lecture on Elocution, delivered before the American Lyceum, May 6, 1837, 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 DR. COMSTOCK'S EXHIBITIONS IN VOCAL GYMNASTICS. The STAMMERERS under Dr. Comstock, both Ladies and Gentlemen, give a variety of recitations, at the Vocal Gymnasium, (entrance by Ranstead Court, Fourth St. above Chesnut,) every Tuesday evening. TICKETS, 25 cents each, — and may be obtained at Osborn's Music Store, Fourth Street, two doors below Ran- stead Court. Each ticket admits a gentleman and two ladies. The exercises commence at 8 o'clock. □Cf 3 The design of these Exhibitions is to give confidence to the Stammerer, which is so essential to his relief, and make the public better acquainted with the system of instruction and its beneficial results. The sale of tickets is to secure an audience of respectable persons, and defray the incidental expenses. ANDREW COMSTOCK RECOMMENDATIONS. From the Public Ledger, February 6, 1838. VOCAL GYMNASTICS. A class of students in elocution, and stammerers, under Dr. Comstc ok, exhibited at the Vocal Gymnasium, (Ranstead Court, Fourth Street, above Chesnut,) on Saturday evening last. Dr. Comstock's lecture on elocution mid stammering displayed an intimate knowledge of his subject, and the injrformances of the class did infinite credit to his talents as a teacher. RECOMMENDATIONS. 21 From the Pennsylvanian, February 6, 1838. Dr. Comstock, the professor of elocution, gave an exhibition on Saturday evening, at the Temperance Hall, N. L., for the purpose chiefly of affording a practical explanation of his system of instruction, and showing its success in the cure of stammering and other defects of speech. A large audience, many ladies being among the number, was present, and the exercises evi- dently gave general satisfaction. It was surprising to hear the firmness and smoothness with which the pupils spoke, many of whom until recently were confirmed stammerers, and it was still more surprising to learn in how short a time the evil habit had been eradicated, the consciousness of a complete cure b jing strongly manifest in the modest confidence with which the Doc tor's pupils, several of whom were young ladies, went through their recita- tions before so large an audience. It must not, however, be supposed that this system of instruction is intended solely for the stammerer. Founded upon sound philosophical principles it is impor tant in many respects. It has a wonderful effect in developing the voice, and in giving it volume, flexibility and compass, while the practice of the elements strengthens the chest, and 's very beneficial to the general health, fortifying it in a measure against the approach of diseases of the lungs. The advantage of vocal gymnastics judiciously conducted, is not yet per- haps fully appreciated, but it is more than probable that the time will come when they will form a part of every liberal course of instruction. From the Public Ledger, February 16, 1838. VOCAL GYMNASTICS. The exhibition of Dr. Comstock's class of Stammerers, at Temperance Hall, on Wednesday evening, was highly gratifying to a numerous and highly respectable audience of ladies and gentlemen. The system pursued appears to be calculated to accomplish the end in view ; but the eminent success it has so far met with, is to be ascribed, in a great degree, to the talents of Dr. Comstock as a teacher. From the Christian Advocate and Journal, New -York, April 27, 1838. Philadelphia, April 2, 1838. Dear Brethren, — Having attended Dr. Comstock's exhibitions, I am fully persuaded, that with proper attention on the part of the pupils, he can cure them. I was induced to attend in consequence of his having in his class a particular friend of mine, whose case was one of the worst I ever knew and to my astonishment, he addressed an audience without the least difli culty, making quite a display as an orator. His age is about twenty-one years. If you feel at liberty to notice him in your paper, you may render essential service to stammerers. Respectfully, J. HARMSTEAD RECOMMENDATIONS. From the United States Gazette, April 30, 1838. STAMMERERS. The recitations, and other vocal exercises, made on Tuesday evenings, at Dr. Comstock's Vocal Gymnasium, in Ranstead Court, furnish evidence of great success in his mode of teaching. His pupils, to the number of thirty or forty, male and female, give recitations in a style that shows, not only the entire absence of any disposition to stammer, but evincing also a striking proficiency in the agreeable, as well as useful science of elocution. From the Pennsylvania Inquirer, May 10, 1838. STAMMERING. A friend in whose judgment as well as impartiality we place reliance, speaks in terms of warm commendation of Dr. Comstock's success in curing impediments in speech, and imparting a free action to the organs of articu- lation. The public recitations of his class, which take place every Tuesday evening, at his room adjoining the Church in Ranstead Court, are spoken of as furnishing evidence of success in curing stammerers, as well as of striking proficiency in elocution, which Dr. C. teaches with great effect. From the United States Gazette. Mr. Editor,— I have attended two of the Vocal Gymnastic Exhibitions which have attracted so much attention in our city. The design of these exhibitions, as stated by Dr. Comstock, with whom they have originated, and by whom they are conducted, is to enable the stammerer to rid himself of that timidity which is a greater or less aggravation of his disease. If timidity in one who has no impediment of speech, interrupts the utterance of thoughts, surely in a confirmed stammerer, it must be a source of the highest degree of embarrassment to the vocal organs. Timidity, then, must be removed before the stammerer can have full command of his own organs of speech. To do this, Dr. Comstock brings his whole class, both ladies and gentlemen, before the crowded houses which assemble to hear the welkin ring with their various exercises in what is well denominated by Dr. C. Vocal Gymnastics. Could art, science, experience, wisdom, or philosophy suggest a more efficacious means for the destruction of timidity than the production of courage by individual and collective public speaking ? Nor if the performance of these stammerers void of all powers to edify, and amuse — there is much to instruct, and please, both in manner and matter, in these exhibitions, which, for the sake of the great good they seem likely to pro duce to the afflicted stammerer, I hope will be fully sustained by this enlightened public.

Dr. Comstock, a gentleman with whose name our readers are familiar as the scientific curer of Stammering-, has issued a second edition of his work on Practical Elocution. It is believed to be the best practical work extant upon this important subject. and so far as strengtnening the lungs is concerned, the exercises it teaches are of vast importance. Those who do not intend to become orators, may cultivate and improve the conversational and colloquial powers, and secure a grace, ease and power, that will render them polished and sought-for intelligences in the mystic roads of social intercourse. The work is illustrated with engravings, and very beautifully got up both in paper and print. From the Philadelphia Saturday News, Dec. 2, 1837. PRACTICAL ELOCUTION, Or, A System of Vocal Gymnastics, &c. By Andrew Comstock, M. D. Dr. Comstock is known as a skilful and scientific teacher of elocution. He has devoted much study to the subject, and has had the advantage of very considerable experience in the practical application of his knowledge His classes are generally filled with pupils, and their success is the best testimonial of the merits of his system. This volume will be found a valuable aid to those who are engaged eithei in teaching or acquiring the important art of elocution. Besides a concise but sufficiently clear, analysis of the subject, and various explanatory details, it furnishes a series of diagrams calculated very much to facilitate the pro- gress of the learners. These diagrams have been prepared with much care and labour, and reflect high praise on the industry and ability ;f Dostoi Comstock. (23) 2 1 RECOMMENDATIONS. From the United States Gazette. PRACTICAL ELOCUTION. Messrs. Kay & Brother, 122, Chesnut street, have published a second edi« :ion of Dr. Andrew Comstock's Practical Elocution, or, a System op Vocal Gymnastics. We really believe that the great labour and amount of time which Dr. C. has bestowed upon this volume, will be productive of essen- tial benefits to the learner. The selections are apposite, and the remarks such as show the author master of his subject. From the Saturday Chronicle, Philadelphia, Dec. 2, 1837. Practical Elocution. — Kay Sf Brother. — Philadelphia. The volume now before us, comprises a system of " Vocal Gymnastics," by Andrew Comstock, M. D., and consists of diagrams, illustrative of the subject, and exercises. The plan recommended is designed for th* 1 promotion of health, cure of stammering, and improvement in reading and speaking. The rapid sale of its first edition seems to be a proof of Us popularit} ; while several men of eminence in literature and science have pronounced Doctor Comstock's system a decided improvement upon the usual routine of teach, ing in Elocution. From the Public Ledger, Philadelphia, Dec. 5, 1837. COMSTOCK'S PRACTICAL ELOCUTION. We have received from Dr. Andrew Comstock, of this city, a copy of his late work, entitled " Practical Elocution, or, a System of Vocal Gymnastics, comprising Diagrams and Exercises, &c, designed for the promotion of health, the cure of stammering, and improvement in reading and speaking." This work contains rules for pronouncing all the vowels, sub-vowels, and diphthongs in the English language, with plates to illustrate the position of the mouth in pronouncing them. These sounds he denominates elements ; and he gives tables exhibiting an analysis of words, consisting of both easy and difficult combinations of these elements. In spelling these words, the pupil is required to pronounce the clement or vowel sound, and not the name of the letter or combination of letters which represent it, as is usual in the schools. The book also contains rules for every species of modulation and intonation of the voice, and of time, in reading, speaking, and singing. It contains remarks on stammering, and rules for curing it ; and practicai lessons in reading and speaking, consisting of selections in prose and verse printed with different characters, to denote the proper modulations. It alst: contains plates, representing every variety of attitude and gesture required hi good speaking. RECOMMENDATIONS. 25 This must be a valuable work to those who would learn to read or speak well, and especially to those afflicted with stammering or other impediments of speech. It is useless to dilate upon the importance of elocution to all who have occasion to read or speak to others. To lawyers, legislators, cler- gymen, and speakers in public meetings, it is particularly important; for though to intelligent and well informed minds, the graces of manner add nothing to the force of argument, they are exceedingly important in securing an attentive hearing. An indifferent sermon, if well preached, will produce great effect, while one of the highest order, badly delivered, will be lost upon a great portion of the audience. This is entirely because the first secures the attention of its hearers, and thereby enables every argument or illustra- tion to reach their understandings; while the second is not understood, because not heard. We recommend Dr. Comstock's book to every person who would wish to speak or read well. From the Herald and Sentinel, Philadelphia, Dec. 11, 1837 COMSTOCK'S PRACTICAL ELOCUTION. Dr. Comstock has been Jong and favourably known in this city as a teacher of elocution. The art of public speaking is a common attainment; but the art of speaking effectively, powerfully, and well, by a proper disci- pline of voice, gesture and action, is no easy acquisition. The voice is a great instrument of influence.

Comstock: Dear Sir, — Having examined your Phonetic Alphabet, I believe that it is founded on a correct analysis of the elementary sounds of our language, and that its use would greatly facilitate the acquisition of the arts of read- ing and spelling, as well as promote uniformity in pronunciation. The characters which you have adopted, being the Roman and Greek letters, or modifications of them, are simple in form, easy to write, and pleasant to the eye, while the tone-marks, to indicate accent, inflection, and intonation, enable the reader to comprehend and represent the exact meaning of his author. I recommend your alphabet to the attention of teachers and writers, in the belief that its introduction into general use would save years of irk- some labor to children, and be the nearest approach which has been made to a "royal road to knowledge." I remain, respectfully yours, WM. H. ALLEN. A Letter from the Rev. Lyman Coleman, D. L>., Principal of the Presby- terian Institute, and Author of "An Historical Text-Booh, and Atlas of Biblical Geography ;" "Ancient Christianity Exemplified;" "Apostolic and Primitive Church," &c. &c. Dr. A. Comstock : Dear Sir, — I do but reiterate the common sentiment of all who have duly examined your Phonetic Alphabet, in giving expression to the conviction that the characters which you have adopted greatly surpass, in simplicity and beauty, all similar attempts to analyze and express the elementary sounds of our language; and I consider that your Pamphoneticon is tho nearest approach which has ever been made to a universal alphabet. Were it possible to reduce our spelling to a system so simple, so compre- hensive, and complete, it would be an incalculable service to all who en- counter the difficulties of the anomalous orthography of our noble language. Even should a reform so desirable prove unsuccessful, your efforts in this direction are not the less important to all those who study the first prin- ciples oi our own, or of foreign languages. Very respectfully yours, LYMAN COLEMAN. Philadelphia, Sept. 6, 1855. I concur entirely in the opinion of Dr. Coleman. JOHN S. HART, Principal of the Philadelphia High School. September 7, 1855. 120 RECOMMENDATION OF A Letter from James 31. Iforrison, Esq., the Linguist and Poet. Philadelphia, Oct. 3, 1855. Dr. Cojistock : Dear Sir, — Although what I may say in commendation of your Phonetic System can have little or no weight, being, as Burns says, I <£ " a nameless wight, Trod in the mire clean out of sight;" yet having, for a period of over thirty years, made the study of languages a recreation, I consider myself not altogether incompetent to say a good word for you. Every linguist knows that, poor as the English tongue is in articulate sounds, the Roman alphabet is inadequate to give them all expression. It is equally evident that numerous combinations of letters are retained to express sounds that are now obsolete or provincial. Hence the apparently absurd combinations of letters expressing the same sound, and the equally absurd double, triple, and even quadruple debt which the same letter is made to pay, by representing different sounds — an anomaly found, to the same extent, in no other tongue; alike repulsive to foreigners and puzzling to children. Your system cuts a clear path through this tangled thicket, by giving each letter an articulate sound, and each sound a uniform representation. As our knowledge of the great family of man increases, our ideas require to be expressed in words whose uncouth sounds cannot be written in Ro- man characters, such as Chinese, Hindostanee, Russian, &c. ; but they can be easily managed by your system. And provincial peculiarities, as well as words from the French, Spanish, &c, when printed in your characters, can be read to a native without exciting his risibility. To my mind, the most ingenious part of your whole system is its tone- marks, by means of which the reader is not only enabled to pronounce single words correctly, but to give the very tones of the language in which the author himself would express his ideas. Wishing you as much gain and glory as your meritorious labors deserve, I am yours, very respectfully, JAMES M. MORRISON. Philadelphia, Oct. 6, 1855. I have examined Dr. Comstock's Phonetic Alphabet with some caro, and I consider it decidedly the best that I have ever seen. P.
