Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Philosophy of the Human Voice An idea has for some time, been circulating in this country, tending to persuade every body, that while they are constitutionally the sovereigns over their own destiny in government, they are all sovereign over the rights of individuality, and the restraints of good-breeding, morals, and law; with the further claim to tyrannize over independence of thought, and to bind-down the free-ranging spirit of originality. This last authority assumes, that originality, with its Patents of discovery and invention, often with us, so cruelly involved in litigation, cannot in justice be the privilege of an individual; that whatever apparent novelty a person may promulgate, it is only as the spokesman of a committee of the whole human mind, which has previously counseled, matured, and directed all he has reported. That what was formerly supposed to be the torch of discovery, in a single hand, is, in this popular era of equal rights and Intellect-in-Common, found to be merely a breaking-out, at one human spot, of the full-prepared, and anticipated light of a collective effort in progressive instruction.
