This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: ADDRESS TO THE SURVIVORS OF THE BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL. DANIEL WEBSTER. Daniel Webster, one of the greatest of American statesmen, was born at Salisbury, N. H., in 1782. His father, Ebenezer Webster, was a farmer and Justice of the County Court. He had been an officer in the Revolutionary war.

Although he became a distinguished orator, he failed utterly in public speaking at school. He afterwards said: "There was one thing I could not do; I could not make a declamation.
