T speaks favorably, we think, for the intelli.
- gence and sound national feeling of the neonl.
Of this country, that Messrs. Little Brown & Co.
have been called upon to Issue the sirh edition of Mr.
Webster's Works. We have been struck with tie
justice OF the opinion expressed by distinguished
clergyman of Philadephia, in a, discourse on the
character Of Mr.. Webster, that ssthe 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
ldueed, through my Recommendation, to give it a.
place among their household books - From q
general conviction of the truth here expressed. IN
addition to the interest which every intelligent
reader who once enters upon the perusal of Mr.
Webstefss speeches or writings, either from the
Importance OF the subjects treated, the soundness
and force of the views expressed from the charm
of the stye and manner of discussion we have no,
doubt that these works will attain much wider
circulation and a 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
a general circulation &TaeW c
We learn that an idea has been entertained Z In
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 Everett, may be hereafter superseded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
ster with all the assistance which he could afford
for rendering it complete, and no new edition can
supersede it, Should there be a further pubca
ton OF correspondence miscellanies, it will be "a
IN the form vi an addition which will in no degree
impair the value of the present edition. but would .
tend to increase its interest. l'a =.
In confirmation of this fact we are authorized to
publish the following letter from Mr.. Fletcher
Webster, one of the executors of the late Mr.
Webster: - vlcat .,.ese,-- ~ -, -

GIN EssRs. LITTLE, BRowN & Cos Gentlemen:
have been informed that frequent inquiries are
MAGE 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 intended to be included
IN bis entire published works. - zueaa5s 500. Is
"Itis probable that one or two volumes of CORE
spondence may hereafter be collected and pub
llshed IN the same style with your six volumes
This cannot be considered as defnitively decided
upon; put IL Is certain that no publication will be
made which will render your edition incomplete. 4
or in any way diminish its value. f5s4
"Yours, very respectfully, s4s5-srg.s
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
with excellent taste and feeling, and it contains
the most valuable of the tributes to the memory Of
the deceased statesman. "-Boston Dailu Adueyt;ser
"These volumes are collection of imperishable
models in constitutional law, Jurisprudence, in
ternatonal law, diplomacy finance legislation
and hterature-a collection not to be matched by
this, and hardly by any other country, in capital
and multiforme excellence. There is not a page in
these books which may not give the world assur-
ance of transcendent intelect; not page which
will not make posterity prouder of of their
fathers. These productions will be peFpetuated as
long as the English language endures."
