Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration on the Life and Public Services of Daniel Webster, Delivered December 18, 1852, Upon Request of the Citizens of Cincinnati On the 24th of October 1852, the spirit of Daniel Webster, which, for forty years, had exerted a high and controlling influence among men, took its flight from our world. How sad - how sorrowful - to know, that that mighty mind, so long the pride and glory of our age and country, and that heroic heart, which had so often stood against the assaults of foes, and against the frowns of friends, has been withdrawn from earth forever! In the full maturity of his intellect, before his powers had given evidence of decay, while holding a post of the highest trust and honor under the present administration of our Government, his career has suddenly drawn to a close. The public mind was not prepared for this event. So long had the people of this country been accustomed to look to him for opinions on public affairs, and so often found him able to speak, in perilous national emergences, the great word that gave guidance and deliverance to the nation; so steadily had the light of his great intellect burned without flickering, and with increasing brilliancy, that they felt sure of his life, for many years to come-Calhoun had died, - but his declining health had prepared the public to expect his departure. Clay had died, - but his strength had yielded to advancing age, and his demise was not unexpected. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
