Everett Pulpit & Rostrum Pamphlet. This historically significant antebellum 1859 pamphlet, titled "The Pulpit and Rostrum (No. 8): Daniel Webster, An Oration" by the Hon. Edward Everett, contains the full speech delivered on September 17, 1859, for the dedication of Daniel Webster's statue in Boston. Edward Everett—famed 19th-century orator who famously shared the stage with Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg—delivers a monumental tribute phonographically reported by Andrew J. Graham and Chas. B. Collar, rendering this softcover serial highly desirable for collectors of 19th-century American political history, Boston historical ephemera, antebellum pamphlets, and Daniel Webster memorabilia. Published by H. H. Lloyd & Co. (New York) on October 15, 1859, paper booklet format featuring an oval provenance ink stamp for the "Lowell Historical Society" on the front cover and publisher advertising on the reverse, measures approximately 5.5 x 8.75 inches. Displays expected age-appropriate wear including pronounced horizontal and vertical fold creases, paper toning, edge fraying, small tears and chipping along the bottom margin, and light corner wear, though the typography remains fully intact and legible throughout; no major missing pages or severe ink fading observed. See photos for close-up details.
