[1551] Story to Marshall, January, 1833, Story, ii, 132-33. This letter appears in Story's Commentaries on the Constitution, immediately after the title-page of volume i.
Story's perfervid eulogium did not overstate the feeling—the instinct—of the public. Nathan Sargent, that trustworthy writer of reminiscences, testifies that, toward the end of Marshall's life, his name had "become a household word with the American people implying greatness, purity, honesty, and all the Christian virtues." (Sargent, i, 299.)
