WEBSTER's speech, as here printed, is based on the edition of his Works published in 1851 (Little & Brown). In cases of doubt, consultation has been had with the manuscript of the famous speech, which is now deposited in the Boston Public Library; and I wish hereby to express my thanks to the Trustees and the Librarian for their courtesy in allowing me to use it. Mr. Calvin W. Lewis, of Boston, has generously permitted the use of his unpublished notes, which have grown out of many years' admiration and study of Daniel Webster, and I am deeply obliged to him for the kindness.
