tlio whole American people for theThe gi"oat veneration felt by
the three great sages and patriots who,character and services of
a brief period, have passed from the stage of action, haswithin
induced the undersigned to compile and present, in one volume,
the Eulogies and just tributes of contemporary statesmen.
The names of Calhoun, Clay, and Webster, are household
—taught lisp them and the historywords. Every child is to of
would be incomplete without them. Who is notthe country
treasure up the incidents and actions which haveanxious to ren-
dered the trio illustrious? Who would consider his library com-
plete without an epitome of the lives of such men ?
True, the speeches which follow are the emanations of warm
the hours of grief but the encomiumshearts in — are not the less
nor the facts imbodied the less striking. They were utteredjust,
in the moments of sadness and sorrow—in the hours when every
generous man is willing to lay in the grave with its eminent
unkind andvictims every uncharitable thought; yet the public
ready to admit that each and allare ever of these great men
"were capable of the high, the exalted, the sublime emotions of a
patriotism, which, soaring toward Heaven, rises far above all mean,
low, or selfish things, and is absorbed by one soul-transporting
thought of the good and the glory theof country."
It is believed the style of the work, and the embellishments,
will be found to correspond with the interest of the theme.
