[Smith] constructs a compelling historical narrative by weaving together masterful rhetorical analyses of many of Webster's splendid oratorical performances.-Michael J. Hyde; ""This is a first-rate book. There is no other work of which I am aware that offers such a comprehensive treatment of Webster from a rhetorical point of view.""-Martin J. Medhurst
