Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Private Correspondence of Daniel Webster, Vol. 1 of 2 In preparing the correspondence for the press, from all these materials, the chief difficulty has arisen from the necessity of exercising a severe judgment in making selections. Every letter of Mr. Webster had in it something instructive, entertaining, or characteristic, which caused its omission to be doubtfully and reluctantly decided upon, though such a result was repeatedly unavoidable, in order not to swell the volumes to an inconvenient size, or too much increase their number. The same consideration caused the omission also from the present work of his early productions in prose and verse, his occasional contributions to periodicals, political essays, and those of his speeches, early and late, not contained in Mr. Everett´s edition, all of which had been, collected and prepared for publication. The general events of Mr. Webster´s life are sufficiently well known from the Biographical Sketch by Mr. Everett, prefixed to his edition of "The Works of Daniel Webster," and from the political history of the country for the last half century. No complete and impartial biography of him can be written until after such a lapse of time as shall render possible an unbiased consideration of his public acts, and a fair judgment upon the political sentiments which he entertained. These volumes may prove of value as a collection of materials for the composition of such a work; and it is hoped that they will not be without interest to the general reader as affording a view of Mr. Webster´s private character, his habits of intercourse, modes of thought, affections, tastes, pursuits, amusements, and style of familiar correspondence. To give a just presentation of these characteristics, has been the object of the Editor. Expressions of political opinion, of course, not unfrequently occur in his letters, but it is hoped that none may be found calculated to injure the feelings of the living or detract from the just reputation of the dead.
