(Edwin Percy) The Great Speeches and Orations of Daniel Webster With an Essay on Daniel Webster as a Master of English Style Reading ease score: 54.1 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read. E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Linda Cantoni, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Great Speeches and Orations of Daniel Webster" by Edwin P. Whipple is a collection of notable speeches penned by the prominent 19th-century lawyer, statesman, and orator Daniel Webster. This compilation aims to reintroduce readers to Webster's timeless eloquence and significant impact on American political discourse. The collection encapsulates his compelling orations that address themes of patriotism, law, and democracy, while also shedding light on the essential qualities that made Webster a master of English style. The opening of the collection presents a thoughtful preface that sets the stage for Webster's significance in both legal and literary history. It describes the rationale behind the selection of speeches included, emphasizing the challenge of fully capturing Webster's genius in a limited format. The preface underlines how Webster's articulate defense of his alma mater in "The Dartmouth College Case" exemplifies his rare ability to blend logical reasoning with profound emotional resonance. This introduction establishes the reader's expectation of encountering not only significant historical orations but also insights into the formation of American identity and governance as articulated by one of its most revered figures.
