PRELIMINARY NOTE. The writer of this little volume was attached to its distinguished subject by the official tie of private secretary, and also by the endearing ties of admiration for a great intellect, and the strong- est attachment to most noblea Heart and the best of Friends. He has frequently visited Elms Farrti inNew Hampshire, and Marshjield in Mas- sachusetts, as the friend and guest of their distin- guished proprietor; and while in their vicinity, it was natural that he should have had oppor- tunities of gathering from the older inhabitants, and other authentic sources, many incidents of personal history. These were, for the most part, repeated to him for his own gratification ; but,now *' that the mold," in the statesman's own words, " is beginning to gather upon the tomb" of Daniel Webster, the writer has deemed it his duty to pre- sent them to the public for their edification and pleasure. His fame as a patriot, a jurist, a states- man, an orator, and a scholar, is coextensive with VI PRELIMINARY NOTE.
