S., Edin., Se?iior Surgeon to the Central London Throat and Ear Hospital, Surgeon and Aural Surgeon to the Royal Society of Musicians, author of The Throat and its Diseases, Medical Hints on the Singing Voice, Science and Singing, etc. Joint author of Voice, Song and Speech; and also of The Child's Voice. * * Probably no vocal student, or indeed, very few accomplished singers, when consulting a doctor as to his voice, fails to ask the question, What ana I to sing on? that is, What alcoholic stimu- lant do you advise me to take to aid me in the functional perfection of my art? It is this question that I have endeavored to answer in the following pages. . * * Incidental to the question of alcohol, and bv an almost natural sequence, I have thought it well to give some information regarding the influence of tobacco on voice-use. * * Though I have drawn all my statistics and deductions from the point of view of the singer ray conclusions will equally apply to the no less important calling of the minister, lawyer, senator and actor, as well as to all who desire to have a pure and enduring voice.—-From the Author's Preface. * * Every vocalist or teacher of singing should make a point of reading this most valuable little work.—Athenœicm, (London.) THE CHILD'S VOICE. Its Treatment with Regard to After Development. Containing the Experience in Abstract and Detail of over 200 Teachers, and over 600 Students. By EMIL BEHNKE, Lecturer on Vocal Physiology and Teacher of Voice Production; author of the Mechanism of the Human Voice,1 co-author of Voice, Song and Speech, and of Voice-Traini?ig Exercises, and LENNOX BROWNE, F. R. C. S., Ed. Among the most eminent specialists of the day are Professor Emil Behnke and Doctor Lennox Browne, whose researches * * * are as valuable as any contributions which bave ever been made to the literature of vocal investigation. * * The second book, named [The Child's Voice,] represents an analysis of 4,2o0 replies [to ques- tions by the authors] and the first [Voice Use] gives the statements of nearly 100 persons. * * The deductions are interesting to every person who is interested in physiology, education aud hygiene, and ought to be indispensably useful on the one hand to teachers, into whose province falls auy training of the young voice, and on the other to all who use their own voice in any professional way.— The Beacon, {Boston.) Two valuable little books. * * They are thoroughly scientific works, and yet are very free from all scientific terms. They abound in facts such as every parent and teacher should understand.—Chi- cago Inter Ocean. The practical value of the treatise will at once recommend itself to the attentive consideration of all parents and instructors in the vocal art.—Musical World, (London.)
