St. Louis: Charles & Hammond, 1852. First Edition. Octavo (23.5cm.); publisher's cream wrappers printed within decorative funereal border; 34pp.; text printed within heavy rule throughout. Extremities chipped and spine ends perished, rather heavy dust-soil though internally fresh and sound. Funeral oration delivered by the St. Louis jurist and future politician on the occasion of the death of statesman Daniel Webster (1782-1852). A rather uncommon St. Louis imprint, missed by Sabin.
