RECOMMENDATIONS,

RAM,
“Tt is a surprising fact that even the A
ns -rican People know but little of George
Washington. They have indeed heard a
great deal of his Public Life ; of l.is Mill*
lafy Character, and Political Talents, but
hardly any thing of his private Life and
Virtues. —•
“ Many intelligent persons hare ardent,
ly wished to sun a faithful aceOa.it of thetc,
not only as a debt of gratitude to him, but
as a fme example to car children.
“ The Autnnr bus performed this task
in a very sttisfociory manner. Hii^fnec*
due* of 'Washington jiresent the supt’ema
excel once of religion, wijh the (ransesn.
d at dignity, charm and b&e'ulm ss of ii,o
respective virtue* in domestic, Civil and mi
litary scenes. The moral IvlUillilj y and
jjeuoscf the writer warms the heart and
imagination of his ro.uieis. iiis descrip.
it»e fancy paints tiie nccasi nal scenes uf
Nature in pleasing views; while his flash.
e» of c<xi.;c Wit give an agreeable relief tu
the mmd, and tend, r the s-ri. u* truitis
more i nprcsjive, especially mi the young
