1. Webster, Daniel. SPEECH OF THE HON. DANIEL WEBSTER, DELIVERED TO 
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES, ON THE 14TH 
JANUARY, 1814, ON A BILL MAKING FURTHER PROVISIONS FOR FILLING THE 
RANKS OF THE REGULAR ARMY, ENCOURAGING ENLISTMENTS, AND AUTHORISING 
THE ENLISTMENTS FOR LONGER PERIODS OF MEN WHOSE TERMS OF SERVICE ARE 
ABOUT TO EXPIRE. Alexandria: Printed by Snowden & Simms, 1814. 13 pp. 
8vo. Printed self wrappers.  First edition. One of four different 
printings the same year. The first important speech by Webster in the 
House of Representatives (to which he was elected the prior year). He 
used his objection to the bill, which offered high bounties to 
encourage enlistments, to attack the government for its handling of 
the war of 1812 which he called a failure, its embargo rather than 
prosecution of the war at sea, and the administration's calling the 
opposition to its policies divisive, which makes it most apt today. 
Small tear at stitching, else a very good+ copy, removed, mail fold, 
leaves clean, and without any foxing. A nice copy.  Shaw & Shoemaker

1833. Washington, D. C.: Printed by Gales and Seaton, 1833. 48 pp. 
8vo. Self-wrappers.  First edition.   Copy of "Mr. Lincoln of 
Worcester" who is most likely Levi Lincoln (who was often referred to 
by this title), Governor of Massachusetts from 1825 to 1833 and 
elected Mayor of Worcester in 1848. The speech -also known as "The 
Constitution not a Compact between Sovereign States-" was an 
important one for Webster who supported the President in this matter. 
Clay and Calhoun reached a compromise on the earlier bill but Webster 
would have none of it with this speech (in which he supplemented and 
re-enforced the argument of his Reply to Hayne) as he thought the 
position both unsound economically and an unwise and dangerous 
concession to the threats of the those supporting nullification. A 
very good copy in original condition, three signatures bound in 
string, but untrimmed and unopened, some browning to the edges and 
wear to the upper corner Owner's name on front wrapper.  Sabin
