NOTE. AN BWC ZE As some allusion is made in the following Address to the circumstances connected with its delivery, it may be proper to state, that after the death of Mr. Webster the students of the Law School requested the author, at such time as might suit his convenience, to address them on the life and character of Mr. Webster, and he assented, with the understanding that the Address should be delivered in the usual Lecture-room in Dane Hall, instead of an ordinary lecture. The students subsequently procured a full-length portrait of Mr. Webster, and placed it in the Lecture-room, by the side of portraits of Judge Story and Chief Justice Marshall, and the Address was then delivered. At their request it is now printed. |
