Your volume is to me a very wonderful book,--it is so deeply
philosophic, and so exhaustive of all aspects of the subject.... No
one can read your book without at least gaining a high ideal of the
study of expression. You have laid a deep and strong foundation for
a scientific system. And now we wait for the
superstructure.--Professor Alexander Melville Bell.
It is a most valuable book, and ought to be instrumental in doing
much good.--Professor J. W. Churchill, D.D.
A book of rare significance and value, not only to teachers of the
vocal arts, but also to all students of fundamental pedagogical
principle. In its field I know of no work presenting in an equally
happy combination philosophic insight, scientific breadth, moral
loftiness of tone, and literary felicity of exposition.--William F.
Warren, D.D., LL.D., of Boston University.
Lessons in Vocal Expression. The expressive modulations of the voice
developed by studying and training the voice and mind in relation to
each other. Eighty-six definite problems and progressive steps. By S. S.
