favor of the sound common sense policy
which may be learned from experience.
The question OF the publication

character he gave TO his hero was most

and it has become so generally accepted
in this country that very few Americans
think of George Washington as a man

as his contemporaries. II he had not
been painted as such an angel of light
such stories as this foolish fiction about
his alleged default to the government

that we should put him in position now
