BY

WALTER RIPPMANN

" The subject is treated in a pleasant and sympathetic maiiner quite without pedantry. Maiiy useful hints are introduced on breathing, voice-production, and the éléments of elocurion. Mr. Rippmann is to be congratulated upon the production of a fresh and interesting little work." — The Guardian.

"An excellent manual that was much required." — Sckool JVorld.

This volume has been prepaied, in the first place, for the use oi Trainlng Collèges, but it is expected that it will appeal to the wide circle of those interested in the pronunciation of English. It contains a brief account of the organs of speech and of English speech sounds. The book is intended to be stimulating rather than exhaustive; it will be found to provide a simple course of ear training, in which many teachers at présent hâve little practice, and thus to enable them readily to detect and correct faults in the pronunciation of their pupils.

The book will also be useful to the teacher of modem languages, as the power to impart a foreign pronunciation dépends to some extent on the teacher's knowledge of the habits of speech acquired by the pupils through their mother tongue.
