the form of oratory. Orators. Naturally, then, we find the new spirit of culture in New England uttering itself first through the mouths of men like Edward Everett and Daniel Webster. When, in 1817 or thereabouts, Mr. Everett, Mr. Cogswell, Mr. Ticknor (they were followed somewhat later by Mr. Bancroft), went to study in German universities, they went not simply to represent the nation, as they did so well, but to bring back to the nation the standard of intellectual training of those unive the whole correspondence.
