Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Daniel Webster IF Daniel Webster had had the good fortune to die on March 6, 1850, the story of his career would have been the despair of biographers. To tell the truth, and at the same time to avoid a lapse into the horrors of grandiloquence, would have been one of the supreme tests of literary skill. But Nature has an unbroken custom of inserting the compensation balance into her work; and thus, in the case of Webster, it came about that he was unkindly kept alive a little too long, whereby he encountered the occasion of the seventh of March, 1850, and made upon that day a speech which is perhaps the most famous in our history, and also surely the most unfortunate. The order of subse quent events shows plainly that there was no rea son for this too long survival upon his part. For his great work had already been done; and neither that speech, nor anything which he did afterward in the brief remainder of his life, much afiected the course of events in the country. It was cruel that the end, which was so near at hand, should yet have sufiered this little postponement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Speeches of Daniel Webster It is quite evident that Mr. Webster matured rather slowly; that his efforts made before the age of fifty were his most popular because the most impassioned efforts; but that his productions dated beyond the age of fifty, though less fiery, are generally more indicative of his unsurpassed abilities as a man of deep, penetrating, far reaching, and comprehensive mind. His mind, indeed, seemed to grow clearer as he advanced in years; and the very latest speeches, though not so striking to superficial hearers, will be regarded hereafter, by close and compe tent readers, as the most finished of all the productions of his tongue and pen.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences and Anecdotes of Daniel Webster His sweetness of temper, his kindness of heart, the depth of his friendships, his firm hold upon the facts of the Christian religion (as illustrated by the Colby and Benton stories related in the following pages), the pathos and humor of his home life, - these ought to be known and understood by the world.

Download or read book Eulogy Daniel Webster Classic Reprint written by C. van Rensselaer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eulogy, Daniel Webster New Jersey, with her sisters of the Confederacy, stricken in Providence, mourns at the grave of Daniel Webster. As one of the "Old Thirteen," - ever dear to the departed statesman, - New Jersey claims to participate in his obsequies. The achievements on our soil were often the theme of his glowing praise. Trenton, and Princeton, and Monmouth, were fields, whose memories of renown were cherished by him as dearly as those of Lexington, and Concord, and Bunker Hill. Our own honoured Richard Stockton, too, was his intimate, personal friend; and the equally distinguished son, New Jersey's high-souled Senator in Congress; and Frelinghuysen, gracing literature with the laurels won in the halls of legislation. Nor can it be forgotten that the last cause at the bar, * argued by the giant lawyer-statesman, was in our own Capital, on the banks of the Delaware, in the presence of our great men, and in sight of the records, the statutes, and the heraldry of New Jersey. In the town of Marshfield is a sepulchre, inscribed with the name of Daniel Webster. Death, like truth, is severe in its simplicity. A few letters tell its triumph; a little dust is its victory. That noble form, lately animated with life, lies in silence amidst earth and graves. Quenched is the full eye which delighted in the researches of knowledge, in the glance of the stars of heaven, in the woods, and fields, and streams, and sea, in the countenances of listening men, and in the pleasant charms of a rural home. He has gone. With his friendship, his learning, his eloquence, his love of country, his genius, his wealth of public service, Webster has gone down to the grave. At this season of national bereavement, it is a duty and a privilege to attempt to gather up some of the materials which make his memory a precious inheritance of our own and of future generations.
