Articulate voices are those whereof feveral confpire together to form fome affemblage or little fyftem of founds: fuch are the voices expreffing the letters of an alphabet, numbers of which joined together form words 2. Inarticulate voices are fuch as are not organized, or affembled into words; fuch is the barking of dogs, the braying of affes, the hiffing of ferpents, the finging of birds, &c. The formation of the human, voice, with all the varieties thereof obferved in fpeech, mufic, &c. makes a very curious article of inquiry; and the apparatus and or ganism of the parts of adminiftering thereto is fomething exceedingly furprifing. Thofe parts are the trachea or wind-pipe, through which the air paffes and repaffes into the lungs ; the larynx, which is a fhort cylindrical canal at the head of the trachea; and glottis, which is a little oval cleft or chink left between two femicircular mem branes ftretched horizontally withinfide the la rynx; which membranes, though capable of joining close together, do generally leave an interval, either greater or lefs, between them, called the glottis.
