Publisher's Synopsis

Visible Speech Charts is a book written by Alexander Melville Bell and published in 1888. The book contains a collection of charts that represent the sounds of human speech using a system of symbols. This system, called Visible Speech, was developed by Bell himself and was designed to be a universal method of representing speech sounds. The charts in the book are organized by sound and include both vowels and consonants. Each chart includes a description of the sound it represents, as well as instructions on how to produce that sound. The book also includes a brief history of the development of Visible Speech and its applications in teaching speech to the deaf and in language instruction. Overall, Visible Speech Charts is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of speech sounds and their representation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
