‘•ft it a surprising fact that even the A.
After lean People know hut little of (it urge
Washington. They have indeed heard a
* great deal t.f his Public Life ; of his Mili
tary Character, ami Political Tulcn.a, hut
hardly any thing of his private Life and
V iitues.
“ Many intelligent persons have ardent*
1y v/t*hed to see a fnxh*ulaccount of theae,
rru only as :t debt of gratitude to him, but
ass fine example to flhr Ch lcfren.
“ I’lte Author has performed this task
|n .i very satisfactory manner. His Anrt
no;"i of Washington present the supreme
excellence of religion, with the transeto.
d <nt dignity, charm ami useltilaesf of the
respective virtues in domestic, civil and mi*
hury icepes. l'nc moral sensibility and
