The vox humana of the great Haerlem organ is very lifelike, and the same stop in the organ of the Cambridge chapel might be mistaken in some of its tones for a human voice; but I think you never heard anything come so near the cry of a prima donna as the A string and the E string of this instrument. A single fact will illustrate the resemblance.
Unfortunately, this is contrary to public opinion in England, where the vox populi assumes the right of dictation upon matters and men in which it has had no experience.
Yet this man, as far as virtue went, was vox et praeterea nihil. He was a vagabond of the most abandoned; he was habitually in drink, and I think his sins had gone near to make him mad at any rate he was of a most lunatical deportment.

A response to the demand of hundreds of thousands of people who have never had a newspaper made for them before." "An echo of vox populi? Does that excuse its sins?" "I'm not putting it forth as an excuse. Is it really sins or only bad taste that offends you?"
"My Rothenberg," said the king, with his deep, tender voice, "look at me, and tell me what men call you, when they speak of you and me?" "I hope they call me your majesty's most faithful servant." "No, they call you my favorite, and what they say is true. Vox populi vox Dei. Come to my heart, my favorite."
Vox Populi asserts that the General Court acted merely officially in laying the proposed plan of government before the people. No man of candour, sense and foresight, Mr.
I attacked the squeaky melodion, pushed down a pedal, pulled out the "vox humana" stop the most harmless one of the melodion, but which gave out a supernaturally hoarse sound I struck the chord, and standing up I began.
