T speaks favorably, think, for the inteIIi-,
i gence and sound national feeling of the people
OF this country, that Messrs Little, Brown & Co.
have been called upon to issue the sizth edition of Mr.
Webster's Works We have been struck with the
justice OF the opinion expressed by distinguished
clergyman of Philadelphia, in discourse on the
character OF Mr.. Webster, that sthe 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 his remark upon the influence OF that
recommendation, 81 feel that have rendered every
family useful service, which may have been in
duced, through my recommendation, to give it
place among their household books.' From
general conviction of the truth here expressed in
addition to the interest which every intelligent
reader who once enters upon the perusa 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, we have no
doubt that these works will attain 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 reasonableness of the price, recommends it to
We learn that an idea has been entertained to
some extent, that the edition above referred to-
edited by Mr.. Everett may be hereafter superseded
by another and more complete edition. This is
with great care during the lifetime of MIR. 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 or miscelanies, 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 confirmation of this fact we authorized TO
publish the following letter from Mr.. Fletcher
Webster, one of the executors of the late MIR.
Webster:
ssBosToN, January 10, 1853
s'MEssRs LITTLE, BRowN & Co. Gentlemen:
have been informed that frequent inquiries arc
made of you as to the completeness of your edition
of Mr. Webster's works.
ssThe present volumes, edited by MIR. Everett
and published by you, contain every thing, up to
March, 1852, which intended to be included
In his entire published works.
s'Itis probable that one two volrmes Of CORE
spondence may hereafter be collected and pub
lished In the same style with your six volumes.
This cannot be considered as dehnitively 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,
eve 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 are well selected and treated
the most valuable of the tributes the memory of
the deceased statesman.''- Boston Daily Advertiser
"These volumes are collection OF imperishable
models in constitutional law, jurisprudence, in
ternatonal law, diplomacy, finance, Legislation,
and literature-a collection not to be matched by
this, and hardly by any other country, in capital
and muitiform 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 posterty prouder of the land of their
fat will e or a
long as the English language endures."
ENe,c York Courier and Enquirer.
"Distinguished have monuments erected
for them by their grateful countrvmen, and some
times by the people of another nation, or by a 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
''We shall not attempt to mention, nor even hint
Mt, the deservings of Mr.. Webster, still less to
compare him 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 have readers to create admirers
[Ne,oark Daily Adrertiser.
'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 the world
shall feel an interes 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
personified in one eminent individual emphati-
caly the AMERICAN STATESMAN
Boston Courier.
eBy the side of the excellent edition of the works
of Edmund Burke, issued come years since by the
same publishers, every student of politics may
well place this edition of the works of Daniel Web
ster.''- Washington Republic.
