Description:Excerpt from Daniel and Ezekiel Webster: An Address Before the Bar Association of Grafton and Coos Counties, at the Annual Meeting at Lancaster, February 2, 1886 At the age of fifteen, Daniel Webster's health was not good, and he was far from strong. He could do only the light work about the house, the stable, and the farm. On the other hand, Ezekiel, two years older, was a sturdy, strong, well made young man, who did his full share of hard farm-work with the -hired hands.- He lisped considerably when talking, but Daniel spoke in a full, clear, deliberate manner. Both boys were studios: a lady who attended school with both of them has said that she never saw either of them idle in school. Their father did not have an abundance of this world's goods. He had been one of the first settlers in Salisbury, establishing himself on the extreme frontier; and he had spent a large share of his life in the service of his country, with poor pay, or no pay at all. When he began to think about the education of his sons, his farm was under a mortgage, but he had determined to -raise his children to a condition better than his own.- Consequently he sent Daniel to Phillips academy in Exeter, then the capital of the state. Both boys had attended every day their own district school while it lasted, and the schools in adjoining districts frequently were arranged so as to afford one or two months more instruction to pupils living near by. So, when at the age of fifteen his father sent him to Exeter, Daniel was proficient in all English branches. His school-masters had been Master Chase, and, specially, the renowned James Tappan, whom he afterward mentions in the most endearing terms.
