Wheeler, Everett Pepperell. Daniel Webster, the expounder of the constitution. [**]$1.50. Putnam.
“This is at once a tribute to the genius of Daniel Webster and a handy manual to the decisions which, following Webster’s arguments before the United States Supreme court, have molded the constitution to make it adequate to our needs. While Mr. Wheeler’s chief concern is with the constitutional questions laid before the court, he is not unmindful of the senatorial side of Webster’s career from the constitutional standpoint, and chapters are given over to the replies of Calhoun and Hayne, involving the nature of the republic, and to the famous ‘Seventh of March’ speech, which brought such disappointment to the enemies of slavery.... Interest is heightened by the inclusion of hitherto unpublished accounts of several of the more important cases, and by an appreciative study of Webster as a lawyer.”—Outlook.

“Its manifest position as a special pleader for Mr. Webster’s memory. Is particularly desirable as giving us new light on old subjects through its first publication of many facts which aid to a clearer view of the principles of the constitution.”
