We learn that an idea has been entertained 90
some extent, that the edition above referred 10
edited oy Mr. Everett, may be hereafter superseded
by another and more complete edition. This is a
mistake This edition was compiled and edited
with great during the lifetime of Mr. Web
ster, with all the assistance which be could afford
for rendering it complete, and no new edition can
supersede it. Should there be further pubIica
tion OF correspondence or miscellanes 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 its interest
IN combination of this fact we are authorized To

Webster, one of the executors of the late Mr.

''MEssRs. LITTLE, BRowN & Co-Geufleuney
have been informed that frequent inquiries are
made OF you as to the completeness of your edition
of Mr. Webster's works.
"The present volumes, edited by Mr. Everett
and published by you, contain every thing up to
March, 1852, which was intended to be {ncIpded
in his entire published works
"ltls probable that one or two volumes of CORE
spondence may hereafter be collected and pub
llshed In the same style with your six volumes.
Ihls cannot be considered as defnitivelv decided
upon but 1t is certain that no publication will be
made which will render your edition Incomplete
or IN any way diminish its value
"Yours, very respectfully,
FLETCHER WEBSTER
'We have already expressed verv deeidedIv
tne 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 nress
The subjects presented are well selected andtreated
with excellent taste and feeling and IL contains
the most valuable of the tributes to the memory of
the deceased statesman. ''Bost0n DaiIy Adperffser
"ihese volumes are collection of impershable
inooels In constitutional law, Jurisprudence in
ternatonal law, diplomacy, finance lepislation
and ilterature-a collection not to be matched bv
this, and hardly by any other country in capital
ana multlform excellence. There is not page in
these books which may not give the world assur-
ance OF transcendent intellect; not a page which
VIII not make posterty prouder of the land of their
fathers. These productions will be perpetuated as
long as the English language endures''
HOTEG o5frsa
"Distinguished men have monuments erected
Tor them by their grateful countrymen and some
umes oy the people of another nation, or by re-
mote posterity. Daniel Webster has taken cora a.
build his own, and in his lifetime The sig annie
volumes of his works just published by Messrs.
Little Brown, of Boston, will constitute more
precious and durable memorial of his existence

1--WE shall not attempt to mention, nor even hint
At the deservlngs of Mr. Webster, still less 10
compare MN with other men, There is shorter
course, which is to invite the community to weigh
and value them for themselves There are his
works, such of them as have been collected. There
they stand They shall speak for him They
want only TO nave readers to create admirers
Nesodrk Daily Adoertiser
In company with the writings Of Washington
ana FRANKLIN, they constitute most essential
part OF the history of our Republic. Nolapse 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 PEG
pie IN the nineteenth century were embodied and
personihed in one eminent acknowledgements
cally the AMERICAN STATEsMAN."
