Excerpt from Life of Daniel Webster
It would have been possible, perhaps, in the composition of the first volume, which narrates the life of the great statesman, to fol low his career more minutely, step by step, and year by year, if not day by day, at least from the time when his career became con useted with the history of his country but this sort of biography, so common when books were scarce, and when amusement rather than instruction was the object sought after by the reader, meets not the temper of an age, which, active and busy to excess, has no time to waste on needless particulars, but hastens over tiresome de tails to seize upon the great facts involving and demonstrating character.
