Daniel Webntor died on the 24th of Ootober,
152, and within less than ten years from that j
lime the crcat national crisis that he foresaw i
and endearored to avert overtook the nation,
and with the firing of the first gun upon Fort
Pointer a new era was inaugurated. The
four years of civil war as effectually divided
the times of Webster, Clay, and Calhoun from
to-day as if a century had intervened. Those
men are as much historical figures as Wash
ington, Adams, and Jefferson; and it would
mem at the first glance that the present is as
good a time as any for giving to the world a
standard biography of the great orator and
statesman who for bo many years hold a fore
most place in the Senate, and who enjoyed a
personal popularity not surpassed by any
public man of his times. The ideas on the
slavery question, however, have changed so
radically Hince the Rebellion, and the feelings
engendered by the great conflict are so strong,
that it is doubtful whether the American
people are yet in a fit frame of mind to
review with judicial impartiality the political
career of such a man as Daniel Webster. We
read the story of the great anti-slavery strug
gle by the lurid light of an overwhelming
national calamity, and there is a strong dis
position in some quarters to deal harshly with
the memories of statesmen like Daninl
Webster, who labored to avert the evil day
that they clearly saw was coming on, instead
of advancing to meet it.
To ns the various compromises with the
pro-slavery party appear to have been at once
cowardly and impolitic. Whether the record
will be so read a hundred years hence is a
question. The anti-slavery faction was weak
and unpopular, and the slave-owners strong,
arrogant, and with the law upon their sido.
Time was required for the development of
public opinion in the direction of freedom,
and it was reserved for the pro-slavery
men to precipitate the conflict that resulted
in their destruction.
Among the great changes wrought by the
Rebellion, none is more remarkable than the
loss of prestige sustained by Daniel Webster
and Henry Clay. Before the war their names
were cited ou every occasion, and were always
received with shouts of applause: now they
are seldom mentioned, and seldom even
thought of. Their fame has been obscured
by the mighty events and the new men that
have come before the public since their day;
and with regard ta Mr. Webster, especiidly,
there is a strong disposition to disparage his
genius and to represent him as vain, shallow,
and insincere. We are convinced that such
a view as this of Mr. Webster's character is
unfair, and that the time will come when his
car?er as a statesman will receive impartial
judgment at hands of the American
people, wajont undue laudation and without
prejudiced disparagement. Before the lie
bcllion he was a i7ort of demi-god, and since
Jhen he has boen as .harshly depreciated as ho
waS previously too higWy exalted. With all
his faults, he was a gftt man, a great states
man, and . an orator that ? entitled to rank
with the greatest the world has produced.
Mr. George Tioknor Curtis is pticularly
fitted for the position of biographer of" Jr
Vester. He is the last of his literary execu
tors, and ho has been able to command a muss
of materials such as would not be accessible
to any other writer. The volume before ns
comes down to 1838, when the question of the
annexation of Texas was beginning to bo a
oorinna contention. It covers the
most active and interesting period of tis
career, when he was a commanding figure in j
the Senate, and when he did more thau at
any subsequent period to establish the repu
tation that made him, next to Henry Clay, the
most popular man in the country. Mr. Curtis
luW executed his task with discretion, and
with an evident desire to bo as impartial as
possible. The work is illustrated by a num
ber of interesting letters and documents
' never before published, and it is valuable not
only as the most perfect biography of Mr.
"Webster yet written, but as giving at least a
jartial inside view of our national politics
during the period when the anti-slavery
struggle was becoming the all-ubsorbing topic.
The book is handsomely printed aud bound,
and it is embellished with a tine steel portrait
of Mr. Webster, from the portrait by Healy,
and with a number of vignette wood-cuts.

of John B. Gorun. Published by II. C.

Mr. Gough is a born orator, and ho is con-
setjueutly one of the most popular lecturers
now before the public, lie has the rare
faculty of securing the sympathies and atten
tion of his audience, and of holding them
spell-bound by his manner rather than by his
matter. Mr. Cough's discourses are often
extremely trivial in subject when they couie
to be read by the, sober light of criticism aud
when away from the fascination of his pre
sence. They are made up of well-nied mate
rials, and display but little originality in style
or arrangement. When he is speaking, how
ever, all this U forgotten, and the public lis
tens to the often-told anecdotes and jokos
with as much .est us if they were bran-new
coinages of the lecturer's brain. As might
be expected, the autobiography of Mr. lough
loses much of the fascination of his spoken
efforts, and the actual events of his life
are not in themselves suhu iontly interesting
or important to fill up the bulky volume of
6.ra pages before us. the book is, therefore,
largely composed of padding, which, however,
will ie no objection to tne majority oi readers
into whose hands it will fall. Mr. Gough
tells the story of his life iu a straightforward
manner, and he tells it well. He makes no
great pretensions to literary stylo, and that is
well also. The book is one that will ho road
with interest by many who are anxious to
Itbow what the great teuiperauoe orator has
to say for himself, aud it will have a positive
volno as an encouragement to thoto who are
struggling in life against temptation aud ad
versity. The autobiography is an amplifica
tion of a work written twenty-five years ago,
and it covers tho quarter of a ceutury that
has elapsed since then. It is illustrated with
an excellent steel-plate portrait of Mr. Gough,
and a, nnniber of wood-cuts.
From A. II. Hubbard, No. 400 Chesnnt
street, we have reocivod "Bible Lyrics," by
Eev. John A. Murray. This is a series of
metrical versions of those portions of the Old
and New Testaments that appear to be par
ticularly suited for such treatment. The au
thor has endeavored as far as possible to pre
serve the exact language of the Scriptures,
and he has succeeded in a majority of in
stances in giving very clever adaptations,
many of whih appear to bo admirably suited
for congregational hymns. The most ambi
tious, and the least successful, feature of the
book is an attempt to cast the Book of Job
into a dramatic form. It is evident that Mr.
Murray has no very clear idea of what a drama
roally is, and hi& versifications of the speeches
of Job and his friends fall very far short of
the simple grandeur of the original. There
is much that is commonplace in the other
portions of the work, but the lyrics are gene
rally spirited, and the work is one that more
fully represents the poetry of tho Bible than
any that has hitherto been published. It is
the kind of a book that thousands of readers
will wish to possess, and it is admirably
adapted for a holiday gift. The work is hand
Bonicly printed and bound in elegant style,
and it is illustrated with a number of Doro's
Bible designs, copied by Osborn's photo
lithographic process. For sale only by sub
scription. From Claxton, Ilemson &, IlafTelfinger we
have received "Twisted Threads," by Mrs. M.
1). Nauman. This is a new novel by the
author of "Sidney Elliott," published about a
year ago. It shows considerable improve
ment over that work, and it is a pleasantly
written story of life and manners, in a vein
that, if not very original, is at least attractive
and healthy.
The same house sends us "Nancy's Christ
mas," an interesting story for children, with
a good moral to it.
Claxton, llemsen &, Haft'elfingcr also send
us "Historical Sketches of the ltoign of
George Second," by Mrs. Oliphant. Fub
lished by Little & Gay. These sketches were
originally published in Blackwood's Maga
zine and in lAtU U'i Lining Age, whore they
attracted much attention. They are graphic
word-pictures that give us a view of English
society at a most interesting period, and they
are well worthy of a perusal. Sketches are
given of Queen Caroline, Sir Robert Wal
pole, Lord Chesterfield, Lady Mary Wortley
Montagu, Alexander Pope, The Young Cheva
lier, John Wesley, Commodore Anson, Bishop
Berkley, Samuel Richardson, David Hume,
and William Hogortn.
From Turner Brothers & Co. we have
received Our Buy' and OirW Magazine for
December 18.
Our ik7ioolda Visitor for January,
published by Danghaday & Bechor, No. 424
Walnut street, commencos the fourteenth

Tiift November part of the Engineering

and it is well deserving of the esteem in

men.
TRUE EPISCOPACY.
To the liditor of Ths Evening Telegraph.
"Episcopacy set forth by the Apostles of
Christ, under the guidance of tlio Holy Spirit of
Truth. Is to be acknowledged 'the Ordinance of
iod.' "
Such is the title of :i sermon preached by the
Rev. Daniel WnBhlmrn before ihe Schuylkill
and I.chl"H Convocation, and published at their
rciieHt. The subject docs not admit of much
novelty of treatment. The truth of tho propo
sition can be demonstrated only by proof drawn
out of '-Holy Scripture aud undent authors."
We do not remember to have seen a more
concise and lucid collation uml use of the
principal testimonies that bear on this question.
While the ncriuon is thoroughly outspoken on
what the reverend author believes (and proves
It too) to have been the primitive structure of
the Church of Christ, it Is truly charitable and
catholic in Its spirit towards those who have de
parted from the Apostles' fellowship. The con
clusion of the discourse it is easier for believers
In ministerial purity to scoff at than it is to re
fute.
