On an eminence overlooking the sea, by the side of the burial-place of the first Pilgrims, is Webster's last home. A mound of earth and marble slab, mark the spot where sleeps all that is mortal of the great American. FOOTNOTES: [21] We have consulted principally the "Memorials of Daniel Webster," published by the Appletons, containing the letters of Gen. Lyman, and the eulogies of Everett, Choate and Hildreth, all enjoying the precious favor of his personal intimacy. The reminiscences of Mr. Lanman, his private secretary, and Everett's life prefixed to the complete edition of his works, are our authority for many of the following details. +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES | | | | Spelling has been made consistent throughout but kept to | | authors' original format except where noted. | | | | Small Caps has been capitalized in this text version. | | | | Images have been moved from the middle of a paragraph to the | | closest paragraph break.
