l speaks favorably, think, for the intelil-
i gence and sound national feeling of the people
Of this country, that Messrs. Little. Brown s. Co.
have been called upon to issue the sixth edition of
Webster's Works, We have been struck with the
justice OF the opinion expressed by distinguished
clergyman of Philadelphia, in q discourse on the
character OF Mr.. Webster that 9sthe best thing we
can do for training our young men is to place in
their hands the works of this great statesman,
and also OF bis remark upon the influence of that
recommendation, 81 feel that have rendered every
family a useful service, which may have been in
duced, through my recommendation, to give it a
place among their household books - From a
general conviction of the truth here expressed in
addition to the interest which every intelligent
reader who once enters upon the perusal of MIR.
Webster's speeches or writings, either from the
Importance of the subjects treated, the soundness
and forceo the views expressed, or from the charm
OF the style and manner of discussion we have no
doubt that these works will attain much wider
circulation and tar more general perusal, than
those OF any other American author. The excel
lent manner in which the work is published and
the reasonableness of the price, recommends it to
general circulation
We learn that an idea has been entertained 10
some extent, that the edition above referred 10,
edited by Mr. Everett, may be hereafter superseded
by another and more complete edition. This is a
mistake This edition compiled and edited
ster. with all the assistance which he could afford
for rendering it complete, and no new edition can
supersede it. Should there be further publica.
ton OF correspondence or miscellanies, it will be
in the form of an addition which will in no degree
impair the value of the present edition, bot would
tend to increase its interest
In conflrma ton of this fact we are authorized to
publish the following letter from Mr. Fletcher
Webster:
"BosToN, January 10, 1859
ssMEssRs. LITTLE, BRowN Co.. Gentlemen:
have been informed that frequent inquiries are
made of you as to the completeness of your edition
of Mr. Webster's works.
isThe present volumes, edited by Mr. Everett
and published by you, contain every thing, up TO
March, 1852, which was intended 10 be Included
in his entire published works.
ait probable that one two volumes Of CORE
spondence may hereafter be collected and pub
ished in the same style with your six volumes.
This cannot be considered defnitvely decided
upon; but it is certain that no publication will be
made which will render your edition incomplete,
or in any way diminish its value.
"Yours' very respectfully y,,,n n,
owe have already expressed, very decidedly
the opinion that the Boston Webster Memorial,
also published by Messrs Little, Brown & CO. ia
the most satisfactory and interesting of all the
books which his death has called from the press
The subjects presented are well selected and treated
with excellent taste and feeling, and it contains
the deceased statesman Boston Daily advertiser
sThese volumes are collection of imperishable
models in constitutional law, jurisprudence, IN
ternational law, diplomacy, finance, legislation,
and literature-a collection not to be matched by
this, and hardly by any other country, in capital
and multiform excellence There is not page in
these books which may not give the world assur-
ance of transcendent intellect; not page which
will not make posteriy prouder of the land of their
fathers. These productions will be perpetuated as
long as the English language endures."
NeU York Courier and Enquirer.
"Dietinguished men have monuments erected
for them by their grateful countrymen, and some
times BY the people of another nation, or by re-
mote posterity. Daniel Webster has taken care TO
build his own, and in his lifetime. The six ample
volumes of his works just published by Messrs.
Little Brown. of Boston, will constitute more
precious and durable memorial of his existence
and his greatness, than the granite column, the
marble or brazen bust.
eve shall not attempt to mention, nor even hint
ut, the deservings of Mr. Webster, still less TO
compare him with other men. There ia shorter
course, which Ia to invite the community to weigh
and value them for themselves. There are his
works, such OF them as have been collected There
hey stand. They shall speak for him. They
want only to have readers to create admirers
