Synopsis

Daniel Webster: American Statesman, originally published in 1883, is one of the essential works of Henry Cabot Lodge's long and distinguished literary career. This exceptional biography covers Webster's childhood years and the exploits of his youth. Webster's life as a young Dartmouth College graduate in the legal and political arenas in New Hampshire are discussed at length, including an astute analysis of the noted case Dartmouth College v. Woodward. Webster's contributions to the Massachusetts Convention, his famous Plymouth Oration, and his days as U.S. Secretary of State are included as well. AUTHOR BIO: HENRY CABOT LODGE (1850-1924) was born in Boston, educated at Harvard, and admitted to the bar in 1876. Before beginning his long career in the U.S. Senate (1893-1924), he edited the North American Review (1873-76), was lecturer on American history at Harvard (1876-79), and edited The International Review (1880-81). In addition to his distinguished tenure as member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1887 to 1893, he wrote historical works including the biographies of his great-grandfather George Cabot (1877). His other works include noted biographies of Alexander Hamilton (1882) and of George Washington (1889), as well as a nine-volume edition of the works of Hamilton (1885).

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
