"It it a surprising Let that even the A
m rican People knew bur little of George
Washington. They hire indeed heard a
great der! of his Public Life; of his Mili
tary Character, and Political Talent, hut
hardly any thing of his private Life and
Virtues.
“ Many intelligent persons have ardent*
ly w.shed to >ee a faithful account of i/i>"iet
not only as a debt of gratitude to him, but Wi
as a line example to our children. W
“The Author has performed this tusk 1
in a very satisfactory manner. Hiz.incc
dotes of Washing;.*n present the supre me
excellence of re/Zyion, with the trausCen*
dant dignity, charm and usefulness of the
respective virtues in domestic, civil and mi
litary Beenes. The moral sensibility and
genius of the writer warms the heart and
imagination ot his readers. His dencrip*
rive fancy paints the occasional scenes of ^
Nature in pleasing views ; while his flash
es oi comic w’t give an agiseable relief to
the mind, and render the serious truths
more impressive, especially on the young
roader.”
