EULOGY ON DANIEL WEBSTER. 299 I have been told that the assertion has been haz- arded that he " was great in understanding ; deficient in the large reason ; " and to prove this distinction he is compared disadvantageously with " Socrates ; Aristotle ; Plato ; Leibnitz ; Newton ; and Descartes." If this means that he did not devote his mind, such as it was, to their speculations, it is true ; but that would not prove that he had not as much " higher reason." Where was Bacon's higher reason when ...he was composing his reading on the Statute of Uses ?
Had he lost it ? or was he only not employing it ? or was he employing it on an investigation of law ? If it means that he had not as much absolute intellectual power as they, or could not, in their departments, have done what they did, it may be dismissed as a dogma incapable of proof and incapable of refuta- tion ; ineffectual as a disparagement ; unphilosophieal as a comparison.
It is too common with those who come from the reveries of a cloistered speculation to judge a practi- cal life, to say of him, and such as he, that they " do not enlarge universal law, and first principles ; and philosophical ideas ; " that " thej'^ add no new maxim formed by induction out of human history and old thought." In this there is some truth ; and yet it totally fails to prove that they do not possess all the intellectual power, and all the specific form of intel- lectual power, required for such a description of achievement ; and it totally fails, too, to prove that they do not use it quite as truly to " the glory of God, and the bettering of man's estate." Whether they possess such power or not, the evidence does not disprove ; and it is a pedantic dogmatism, if it is not 300 EULOGY ON DANIEL WEBSTER.
