ew by a long and
careful series of experiments and observations with the laryngoscope....
Mr. Behnke's book is clearly written, and the plates well drawn and
printed; while the anatomical details are made clear to the general
reader by the use of English names for the different parts.... It is a
very valuable book, and ought to be read and thought over by all who
have the training of young singers, and indeed by all musicians.

MEDICAL PRESS AND CIRCULAR.

In clear and untechnical language the author gives an accurate account
of the construction and mode of action of the human larynx, its
differences in men, women, and children, and the teachings of the
laryngoscope, notably with respect to the "registers" of the voice....
M. Behnke is evidently an accurate observer and a logical reasoner, and
a study of his work side by side with Witkowski's "Movable Atlas of the
Throat and Tongue" must be advantageous to any one desiring to make the
best use of his voice.

THE SPECIALIST.

This useful little book is the outcome of the author's large experience
and careful research. It is written concisely, in clear and untechnical
language, and frequent references are made to such authorities as
Huxley, Lennox Browne, Eberth, Carpenter, Marshall, Luschka, &c. That
Herr Behnke thoroughly understands his subject no one who reads his book
can doubt, and if those who wish to know the right way to sing and avoid
the wrong way will carefully study this little manual they will not go
far wrong. For all who are dependent on the right use of their voices
for their daily bread, Herr Behnke's book will be most opportune.

MUSICAL STANDARD.

An excellent specimen of a familiar way of putting unfamiliar truths.

MUSIC TRADES REVIEW.

There are excellent reasons why singers should possess an intimate
knowledge of the structure and functions of the various organs concerned
in the production of the voice, and this knowledge they are likely to
gain more easily and effectually from the present treatise than from any
other with which we are acquainted. Mr. Emil Behnke writes in a
singularly clear and lucid manner, and if his book be not exactly light,
it is very interesting reading. Much of the information conveyed is
invaluable. We cannot too strongly recommend the present volume to the
perusal of vocal students.

MUSICAL EDUCATION.

After carefully reading the book we are at no loss to understand how it
is that there is such a d
