The circulation through the vascular system of theelements (of the aether) creating vocal sounds, or thecirculation of vocal sotmds.

What isthis right in regard to vocal utterance ? It isthe manner in which we breathe. When we violatenatures right in our mode of breathing for vocalexpression, our penalty is that such expression willnot be what it is intended to be, what it should be;the idiomatic expression of every language being theoutcome of a special mode of breathing for the my observations in the first instance owe theirorigin to the fact that I was breathing in a mannerdirectly opposite to the one in which it was necessaryfor me to breathe to correctly produce the idiomaticexpression of the English language. It was not untilafter this fact had become clear to my mind that Ibegan to extract from my organs of speech thosesounds which appear so abnormally different and strange to the ear of the bewildered foreigner,who finds himself completely at a loss how to pro-duce them.
