 "H IS excellency general WASHINGTON was born in Virginia on the 11th day of Feb. 1732. Early in life he applied himself to the military profession; and his gallant conduct in the western country, placed his character in a respectable point of view.\nWhen Britain stretched forth her hand to oppress his country, he stepped forth to defend her rights. In June, 1775, he was appointed commander in chief of the American army: He was the chief instrument, in the hand of Providence, for conducting the arms of his country through a tedious and perilous war. He served without pay: and in the whole of his command, manifested the most consummate prudence, valour and integrity. In December, 1783, on the concluding of the peace, he resign'd his commission into the hands of the President of Congress; and retired to private life, amidst the deserved congratulations of his countrymen.\nIn 1789 he was unanimously elected President of the United States, under the new constitution, which the people had formed for themselves, and continued to hold that high office, until the 4th of March, 1797, when he declined any longer accepting the honors thereof, and again retired to private life.—May he long enjoy the well earned applauses of his country.\nStevens John jun. 30 Steuben Baron 75, 78, 96, 101, 102, 103, 104, 120, 129, 130 Stiles Ezra 22, 73 50, 54, 64 51, 52, 87, 147 82, 83 Oliphant David Oliver William Oram Darby P Beckwood H.
