In face, form, and voice, nature did her utmost for Daniel Webster.

No envious fairy was present at his birth to mar these gifts by her malign influence.

He seemed to every one to be a giant; that, at least, is the word we most commonly find applied to him, and there is no better proof of his enormous physical impressiveness than this well-known fact, for Mr.Webster was not a man of extraordinary stature.

He was five feet ten inches in height, and, in health, weighed a little less than two hundred pounds.

These are the proportions of a large man, but there is nothing remarkable about them.
