In it are no letters from Daniel Webster, and the biographer felt himself bound, as indeed he was bound, to notice the fact. The EVENING POST makes the following remarks upon the strange conduct of Webster: "Mr. Webster's refusal to comply with Mr. Story's application, may admit of three explanations: First - His own letters may contain sentiments which he does not now entertain, or which if published now, might embarrass him politically. Second - Judge Story's letters may contain evidence of the Secretary's obligation for past favors, of which he thinks it important to his fame that the world should remain in ignorance; or third - He may desire to reserve his own letters for future publications, that the profits may endure to himself. It is difficult to say which of these reasons under the circumstances, would be most creditable to a person of Mr. Webster's eminence and pretensions." 1462 DTD Jan. 19; ed: 2/1 - "Our good friend Samuel Lewis spent Sabbath day in Cleveland.

"The Reverend Dr. Cox, of Brooklyn, being a public character, has... sailed for the West Indies for his health.... Our national amusements are few enough, and in losing him, we should lose one of the most entertaining.... The spirit of absurdity and vanity never before so took possession of any man. Such perfect abandonment to utter foolishness, such magnificent self-inflation, such windy abuse of the mother-tongue, and such complete reliance upon overwhelming nonsense approaches almost to the sublime!"

Indeed, Mr. Webster, in the ordinary sense of the term scholar, was hardly to be considered as one at all. He seldom touched, without marring, either of the dead tongues of the old Greeks and Romans....
