PROPOSALS.

For publishing by subscription and
uniform edition OF the Speeches, Forensic
Arguments, and Diplomatic Papers Of DAM
lei Webster.
TT is now twenty years since n portion Of the
i speeches of Mr.. Webster given 70 the pub
lie in collected form. but without any consdera-
bic editorial preparation or proper regard to ar
rangement. Making important part Of the
political, juridical, and diplomatic history Of the
country, these works unquestionably do, il has
for some time been a subject OF complaint with the
public that complete edition of all the writings
of MIR. Webster which he should deem proper to
form part Of such collection has not been brought
out, with notes and illustrations, made necessary
by the lapse Of time and changes in public atfairs.
IL has been for some time known to MIR. Web
ster's friends that. in the leisure from press
ing pursuits, he had written notes to several of
these speeches, and that others had been prepared
by other hands, and we are now happy to announce
that they have obtained his consent that such an
edition of his works the public has long desred
to possess should be given to it..
OF the nature and value of these works il is not
necessary for the publishers to speak both we'll
known and appreciated, as well in Europe in
America. II is proposed 10 print the contents Of
the volumes in the following order, ,chronologcally
arranged:
l. Notice of Mr.. Webster's Life and Works, by
Edward Everett.
2. Speeches and Discussions in Congress.
3. Orations and Addresses various public oc-
casions.
4. Legal Arguments-Essays
s. Diplomatic Papers.
The work will be comprised in six volumes. Of
about five hundred pages each, printed in the best
manner, and bound in cloth. A finely engraved
head Of Mr.. Webster will be given in the first vol
umc, and his autograph will accompany every sub
scriber's copy. The price will be 81 volume,
payable on delivery.
Two hundred copies will be printed on large pa
paper, and having the autograph, at y a volume.
The work will be put to press ut once, and tho
publishers hope to deliver it complete early in the
ensuing autumn.
