The extinction of this great light afflicts no class more sorely than that scattered brother- hood who make up the republic of letters. In our part of that realm he was chief. No other man in this country ever exercised in so large a measiu-e that sway over the human mind which belongs to literature. His supremacy over men was in proportion as they were educated. In Boston he reigned in all the sovereignty of rea- son. Had this whole country been made up of Bostons — he would long since have be...en called, by acclamation, to the Chief Magistracy of the Union. More than any other American of his day, more than any Englishman, Mr. Webster's style was chaste, lucid, and perspicuous. Every sen- tence was a crystal. He scattered among the people no ambiguous words. When Webster had spoken, you might din'er from him indeed; 19 but you knew his moauinj^-. Wliiitever he touched, he not only adorned, but he shed over it a perpetual light. Such was the literary excellence of Mr. Webster's speech, that its influence did not cease with its delivery.
