BY IMIKESr DIVISES, JUDGES AND OK'S eS
RA I E.
“It is a surprising fact that even the A*
merican People know but little of George
Washington. They have indeed beard a
great deal of his Public Life; of his Mili
tary Character, and Political Talents, but
hardly any thing of his private Lite and
Virtues.
“ Many intelligent persons have ardent a
ly wished to see a fauh*ttl account of Mr*',
not only as a debt of gratitude to him, bet
as a fine example to our children.
“The Author has performed this task
in u very satisfactory manner. His slnccv
dotes of Washington present the supreme
excellence of re!i^ion% with the transcen
dant dignity, charm and usefulness of the
respective virtues in domestic, civil and mi
litary scenes. The moral sensibility and
f^niusof the writer warms the heart and
imagination of his reader/. His de.tcrin^
tive fancy paints the occasional scenes of
Nature in pleasing views ; while his flash
es of comic wit give an agreeable relief to.
the mind, and render the serious truths
more impressive, especially on the yuune
reader.” *
