SPEECHES OF THE HON. DANIEL WEBSTER,

WITH A CRITICAL ESSAY ON HIS GENIUS.

THIRD EDITION.

Opinions of the Press.

Beauties of Daniel Webster.-"A handsome little volume, of 216
pages, bearing this title, containing judiciously selected extracts from
the speeches, addresses, &c., of that distinguished gentleman, with a
Critical Essay on the genius and writings of Mr. Webster, by Mr.
James Rees. We wish the book might go into the hands of every per-
son capable of reading, from New Brunswick to Texas." New York
Gazette.

-

"This is the title of a neat little work, prepared with much care by
Mr. James Rees. The selections are judiciously made and admirably
arranged. Mr. Webster is one of the great men of the country, never
at a loss for words, powerful in argument, fascinating and beautiful as
an orator. The critical essay is enthusiastic, eloquent, and truthful.
The work will meet with an extensive sale.". New York Whig.
"Most appropriately is this beautiful and precious little volume dedi-
cated to 'the friends of liberty throughout the world, and to the admirers
of the English language in its purity.'

-

"We rejoice, therefore, that selections, so tastefully made as those in
this volume, have been put forth in a shape and form to give them wide
circulation among all classes; for the extracts are such as no American,
of whatever party, can fail to admire.

--

"We commend these Beauties to all our readers." New York
American.

"The passages are selected with judgment and good taste, presenting
a rare assemblage of noble thoughts, clothed in surpassing eloquence of
language. We are glad to see that the editor has been careful not to
omit that magnificent outburst of patriotism, the conclusion of the great
speech in answer to Mr. Hayne on Nullification.". New York Com-
mercial Advertiser.

an analysis of his style of oratory. The book, we doubt not, will meet a ready sale."- Whig.

"A very handsome 18mo., entitled The Beauties of Henry Clay,' as an accompaniment to the 'Beauties of Daniel Webster.' Without any necessity of comparing those two beauties,' it may be said very safely that the present volume is a very interesting one, and one which does honor to the distinguished man from whose speeches the contents of the volume are selected. The work is accompanied by a very good introduction, embracing the most interesting points in Mr. Clay's biography." -Express.

"This neat little volume contains some of the most admirable passages in the speeches of the great Western orator, in Congress and on public occasions. It should be in the hands of every youthful aspirant to rhetorical distinction." - Times.

"Beauties of Clay, with a Memoir. This is a little book of 235 pages, from the press of Edward Walker. It gives a just outline of one of the best men in Christendom, and choice selections from his many public speeches. The public cannot know too much of Henry Clay, for none can know him but to love him,' or name him but to praise."- New York Express.

Memoir and Beauties of Henry Clay.. The great success of the volume published by Mr. Walker, entitled The Beauties of Webster,' which ran through three editions in about as many months, has induced the publisher to send forth, in a similar style, a companion piece, entitled The Beauties of Henry Clay! It is a neat and most acceptable little work."- Courier.

"A match volume for the compilation from the writings of Daniel Webster, by the same editor. The admirers of the Kentucky statesman will find it a carcanet filled with gems, and every American who reads it will feel a pride in the thought that a countryman is its author." -Signal.

THIRD AMERICAN EDITION OF

MY NIECE; OR THE STRANGER'S GRAVE.

Opinions of the Press.

"A deeply afflicting story of guilt, and sorrow, and death—well written, and impressing strongly the salutary admonition to beware of the first beginnings of sin. It is published in a very handsome style, and is a book to be commended for its literary merit, and still more for its moral tendency."- New York Review.

"A thrilling story, with an awful catastrophe―well told, and original." -Ladies' Companion.

"This is a reprint of one of the most interesting and beautiful works for the young, to be found. The publisher deserves much praise for the admirable style in which the volume is put forth. Its typography is unexceptionably neat, and the embossed muslin binding is very elegant.

New Works published by E. Walker, 112 Fulton-st.

We cheerfully commend this work to the attention of parents."— New York Mirror.

"This beautiful narrative, having been for some time out of print, is now reproduced in a style, both as regards the typographical execution and the binding, which cannot fail to procure for it a lasting popularity. It is indeed the most perfect bijou of its kind that has ever yet emanated from the American press, and both the publisher and the printer are entitled to great credit, for the excellent taste they have displayed, in presenting My Niece' to the public in an attire so exquisitely in keeping with her pretensions and intrinsic merit."-New York Expositor.

“This beautiful and instructive tale, which has been out of print for some years, comes before the public in a style worthy of all praise. Beautifully printed and beautifully bound, externally it resembles our best annuals, and internally a great superiority is evinced over the most of them. The instructive moral of the tale may be gathered from the author's concluding paragraph, which we extract:

"Reader, I have told thee a tale of no ordinary wo; but it has a moral in it. Whatever thou mayst be, or however situated, guard well the first avenues which lead to sin; for if one false step be taken, thou canst not tell of how many evils it may be the prelude.' New York Literary Gazette.
