in the prime of manhood. Also a view of his
Birthplace and Home at Marshield. The
Biographical portion Of the work contains all
the prominent incidents Of Mr.. Webster's
public and private life. The obituary adj
dresses and eulogies by the greatest men of
the nation, are not only glowing tributes to
the memory Of this great man, but are also
some Of the finest specimens of rhetoric in
the language; and the specimens of his own
massive oratory, include his very finest and
strongest efforts. The book is, therefore.
suited to all classes-the statesman, divine,
the man Of literature, and the student in our
