Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Private Correspondence of Daniel Webster, Vol. 1 of 2 Within a year a considerable collection of letters was made. The numerous manuscripts in Mr. Webster's possession at the time of his death, were, when collected and cursorily examined, placed in the hands of Mr. William Thaddeus Harris, of Cam bridge, to be assorted, and, as far as their nature admitted, alphabetically arranged. Mr. Harris undertook this task with zeal, but, after a year of assiduous and methodical toil, it was interrupted by his lamented death, leaving its completion to other hands. In 1854, the Editor commenced the examination and arrange ment of such letters as were in his own possession; and in 1855, he received from the literary executors the Copies of the letters forwarded in compliance with the application above alluded to, made with great labor and accuracy by George Ticknor, Esq., and the ladies of his family, and forming a very important and interesting portion of the contents of these volumes.
