George Ticknor Curtis Life of Daniel Webster

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. President of Harvard College, Mr. Everett had edited a full collection of Mr. Webster's Works, to which he prefixed a beautiful and carefully-written biographical memoir. At a later period, he sanctioned the publication, in 1857, by Mr. Fletcher Webster, of two volumes of Mr. Webster's Cor respondence, and partly assisted in carrying them through the press. In the preface to that publication, it was sug gested that the letters embraced in it would be of value as a collection of materials for 9. Biography of Mr. Webster, when the time should arrive for the composition of such a work.
