| Summary | "Select Speeches of Daniel Webster, 1817-1845" by Daniel Webster is a collection of important speeches delivered by one of America's preeminent orators during the early 19th century. This compilation showcases Webster’s eloquence and mastery of oratory as he addresses various audiences including juries, the Supreme Court, the Senate, and the public, reflecting on the intricacies of political philosophy, the Constitution, and the moral responsibilities of statesmanship. At the start of the collection, the preface introduces the reader to the significance of Daniel Webster as a model of oratory and political thought, comparing him to historical figures like Burke and Cicero. The emphasis is placed on the importance of engaging with his words to elevate one's own understanding of American political frameworks. The opening portion sets the stage for an analysis of Webster's rhetorical style and his profound impact on American advocacy, compelling the reader to appreciate the foundational principles Weaver articulated regarding liberty, governance, and the human experience.
