We receive these volumes with especial satisfaction. Dr. Tefft's book, we doubt not,
will be a popular one. It has that brilliancy of touch and that vivacity of style which
are always popular with the great body of readers.
—Boston Traveler.
Such a life of the great statesman was needed. There is no other as cheap yet elegant
form in which Webster's great efforts are to be found. They will sell well, we doubt not.
The more of them there are distributed, the better it is for our intelligence, our political
virtue and the public weal.
—N. Y. Times.
Dr. Tefft has displayed much industry, versatility and discrimination in his biography,
and good taste in the selection of Mr. Webster's efforts, and these volumes cannot but
meet with a favorable reception from the public.
—Boston Atlas.
There is no doubt but the book will be very generally sought and read by an appreciating
public. It must be regarded as a valuable addition to the standard literary works
of the times. The author is exceedingly happy in his use of language. There is nothing
laborious, dull or difficult in the perusal; but on the contrary, it possesses an affable,
congenial spirit which is entirely winning. We have been peculiarly interested with
the description of Mr. Webster's character contained in the last chapter of the biography.
The author enters into the subject with his whole soul, delineating faithfully those traits
peculiar to the man, expanding upon those qualities of mind which constituted his greatness.
The work is handsomely got up, and is fit to adorn any library.
—Buffalo Rep.
We doubt whether a better biography will ever meet the eyes of the student, or enrich
the library of the man of letters. The style is polished, clear, and interesting in a
high degree.
—Boston Eve. Gazette.
The best life of Webster that has ever appeared.
—Buffalo Democracy.
