Description
1870 Life of Daniel Webster Curtis America Politics Economics Government Slavery



One of the most important statesmen in American history and "unquestionably the greatest of American orators" (CBD), Webster was as congressman, senator, secretary of state and presidential nominee. His arguments before the Supreme Court in cases such as McCulloch v. Maryland, Gibbons v. Ogden, and Dartmouth College v. Woodward formed fundamental principles of American constitutional law.

"Webster's remarkable political, diplomatic and legal careers were aided by his intellectual brilliance and personal magnetism. He contributed significantly to the concept of American nationality, to the idea of a perpetual Union, to perspectives on economic growth, to a modern legal system and to the rising importance of the United States in foreign relations" (ANB).



This ‘Life of Daniel Webster’ is a biography compiled from Webster’s papers and is “the most complete life of that statesman.” Curtis being one of his literary executers had access to Webster’s papers and includes information on his early life, schooling, disease, and death, as well as positions on the annexation of Texas, anti-slavery movement, presidential positions, banking, and commerce bills, and much more! This 1870 edition includes 3 portraits of Daniel Webster!
