general conviction of the truth here expressed in
addition to the interest which every intelligent
reader who once enters upon the perusal of Mr..
Webster's speeches or writings, either from the
importance of the subjects treated, the soundness
and force of the views expressed, from the charm
of the style and manner of discussion, have no
doubt that these works will attain a much wider
circulation and far more general perusal, than
those of any other American author. The excel
lent manner in which the work is published, and
the reasonabieness of the price, recommends it to

We learn that an idea has been entertained tn
some extent, that the edition above referred TO,
edited by Mr.. Everett may be hereafter superseded
by another and more complete edition. This is a
mistake This edition was compiled and edited
| with great care during the lifetime of Mr. Web
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 miscellanies it will be
in the form Of an addition which will in no degree
impair the value of the present edition. but would
tend to increase it's interest.
In confrma ton of this fact we are authorized to
publish the following letter from Mr.. Fletcher

"BosToN, January 10, 1853.
ssMEssRs. LITTLE, BRowN & Co.-Gentlemen
have been informed that frequent inquiries are
made of you to the completeness of your edition
of Mr.. Webster's works.
t.The present volumes, edited by Mr., Everett
and published by you, contain every thing, up to
March, 1852, which was intended to be Included
in his entire published works.
s'H is probable that one or two volumes of corre-
spondence may hereafter be collected and pub
This cannot be considered as defnitively decided
upon; but it ia certain that publication will be
made which will render your edition incomplete,
or in any way diminish its value.

sWe have already expressed, very decidedly
the opinion that the Boston Webster Memorial,
also published by Messrs. Little, Brown & Co., is
the most satisfactory and interesting of all the
books which his death has called from the press
The subjects presented well selected and treated
with excellent taste and feeling, and it contains
the most valuable of the tributes to the memory of
the deceased statesman. '-Boston Daily Aduertiser
"These volumes are a collection of imperishable
models in constitutional law, jurisprudence, in
ternational law, diplomacy, finance, legislation,
and iterature-a collection not to be matched by
thie, and hardly by any other country, in capital
and multiform excellence. There is not a page in
these books which may not give the world assur-
ance OF transcendent intellect; not page which
will not make posterty prouder of the land of their
fathers. These productions will be perpetuated as
long as the English language endures."
Ne,D York Courier and Enquirer.
. "Distinguished 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 bis 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
at, the deeervings of Mr.. Webster, still less to
compare him with other men. There ia shorter
course, which is to invite the community to weigh
works, such of them as have been collected. There
they stand. They shall speak for him. They
want only to have readers to create admirers"
[Ne,Dark Daily Adpertiser.
sIn company with the writings of Washington
and Franklin, they constitute q most essential
part of the history of our Republic. No lapse of
time can destroy their value so long as the world
shall feel an interest in knowing how the great
ness of the American nation was built up and pre-
served, and how the genius and spirit Of the peo-
pie in the nineteenth century were embodied and
personifed in one eminent ndividual-emphati-
caliy the AMERICAS SrATEsMAN.'

eBy the side of the excellent edition of the works
of Edmund Burke, issued some years since by the
same publishers, every student of politics may
well place this edition of the works of Daniel Web
