Boston: Carter and Hendee. Printed by Isaac R. Butts, 1830. First Edition. Wraps. Fair. Disbound wraps. xvi, 76 pages (last page is 76). Faded institutional stamp upper right corner of the title page. Tipped in hand written label "Political Pamphlets II" upper left corner of the title page. Light scattered toning and foxing to the contents. Webster gave his most famous speech two days prior to this second speech. Regarding the first speech: "The debate began simply enough, centering on the seemingly prosaic subjects of tariff and public land policy. By the time it ended nine days later, the focus had shifted to the vastly more cosmic concerns of slavery and the nature of the federal Union. Observers then and since have considered Massachusetts senator Daniel Webster's closing oration, beginning on January 26, 1830, as the most famous speech in Senate history." (Senate dot Gov)
