IRVING'S WASHINGTON.

LIFE OF GEoRGE WASHINGTON. BY WASHINGTON
Isyne. Vol. III. s,o pp. SIS O. P Putnam a ca.
The volume now published of Mr.. Irvins's great
biographical worb, embraces the period from the
CONNIE nee ment Of the year l777 TO the retirement
Of Washington into Winter quarters in l719. ID
der the fertile pen of the author, the theme has ex
parded ito wider compass than wa, at first anti
cipa,ed, and 20 far from being completed in three
voh mes, tsebty years of Washinston's active
career remain 20 be described, flu rnishDg an ample
store Of materials for several additional volumes
No one would wish 10 impose restrictions upon the
plan Of Mr.. Irving especially ss the fulness of de-
i groas cut OF the comprehensive rel.tions OF the
subject, rather than from any unnecessary tendency
10 exuberance Of description. We see no way In
which greater compact ess could h.ve been advan-
tsgeously attained, eIcep. perhaps by lees free
use Of citations, although these, as introduced oy
the writer, appear 70 be important to fa''aiai
r.p,esentation Of the scenes and characters which
il was bis province 10 portray. Like the preceding
volumes, TIE portion Of the work before US Is
largely indebted for ts interest to the lively per-
,onal ,ke,ch.s With which il aboaDds, and Its M
merous illustrations Of the private and domestic
batits of its immortal subject
In contrast with G, neral Conway, the Irish sd'
yep,u,er who sgnalized himself BY a ds'picaoie
intrigue sgains. The commander In ehie'' M
