D. B. Fry has edited a basic course of readings on the acoustics of speech. The collection includes all the important classical papers in the field.

READINGS SELECTED BY WALTER DE LA MARE ANI THOMAS QUATLE, D. Litt. BOOK VI BASIL BLACKWELL OXFORD INTRODUCTION To be able to read is to be t able to explore just as far as we can and wish the World of Books. Even the smallest library, con sisting only of books in the English language, will show how wide and rich and plenteous a world that is. No one mans life, even if he lived to the age of Methuselah, and even if he used all the time he could spare from his days work and from the great living world of man and of nature, would be enough for its complete discovery.
