Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eulogy of the Hon. Ira Perley, on the Late Daniel Webster: Pronounced Before the Executive and Legislative Departments of New Hampshire, December 22, 1852 The death of Daniel Webster has produced a deep sensation throughout our whole country, deeper, perhaps, and more universal, than that of any public man since Washington. In most cases it has happened that those who have had the strongest hold upon the hearts of the people have been removed in protracted old age, after long retirement from active life, and when the public mind was fully prepared for the event. No surprise, no shock attended their final departure. But the great man whose loss we now deplore was struck down at once from his highest point of elevation, in the full vigor and active exercise of his wonderful powers, while in the discharge of a great office, and at the moment when all eyes were turned upon him as the foremost man of the nation. His countrymen were startled at his sudden disappearance from the great stage of the world. As the solemn tidings spread, they struck all hearts with a deep sense of the national bereavement. And now, after a sufficient interval for calm reflection, when the public mind has had time to recover from the first shock, the general sense of the national loss is in no degree abated.
