A system of elocution, with special reference to gesture, to the treatment of stammering, and defective articulation .. . ess modified,when the elements are uttered in their various combi-nations, and with different degrees of force. The pupil should exercise his organs of speech, in themost forcible manner, three times a week, and, if pos-sible, even every day, on all the elements. The vow-els should be exploded from the throat, both interroga-tively and affirmatively, in every range of pitch withinthe compass of the voice, and with every possible de-gree of force. The vowels are exploded in the following manner:make a full inspiration, close the glottis, and contractthe muscles of expiration so as to condense the air inthe lungs, then utter the element with a sudden andforcible emission of the breath. The sounds thus pro-duced may be denominated vocal thunder; the effectupon an audience is electrical. This exercise strengthens the vocal organs, and ena-bles the speaker to be heard at a great distance, withvery little effort, or expenditure of breath. It is alsobeneficial to health. 28 E L O C U T I O N. ARTICULATION. 29
