left as labor of love for Americas most noted and
most gifted writer to close his long literary career with
the appropriate work of giving the compe,est and
most e-ike picture Of the representative man Of his
country and Of tic age. The author and the subject
were happily fitted for each other that the compile
ton Of this Biography will leave scarcely any maer
al for future biographies. Nenturesone indeed will
be the man who essays to CLEAN in the field where
Irving the reaper.

President 10 the closing scene n; Mouu; Vernon. The
peculiar difficulties under which he abored in the or
gsnizaion Of practical and efficient government,

partially considered. After reading this portion OF

the calm courage and cool Judgment OF Washington

combining political elements TO give an admin
israoh organized out Of confusion, capable Of
Inanding the approval Of men Of all parties and
