Poindexter, acting librarian of the Viz
glnia State Library Richmond: J. j..
Price 90. cents.
This little volume was published at the
request of the society before which Mr..

| in 1908 by -. H." upon which Deane
and others challenge Smiths veracity.
ana IN discredlting this Relation draws
upon vast fund Of literary resource.
Among other things, Mr.. Poindexter, I'm
summing up and defending Smiths
claims 10 greatness, says:
The lives Of Washington and Lee, the
last OF our great protagOnists embody
the struggles Of a mature and well-or-
ganized Commonwealth In defence OF the
principles and rights asserted in the in
rant state of the same community by
smith and Bacon. For, though not
formulated, as in latter times, when the
mature consciousness of wel-developed
community, could express itself and
stamp upon the page Of history the
definite assertion OF these rights, yet the
Inspiration and motive of Smith and
Bacon were essentially the same as those
or their logical successors"
The book is clearly printed I'm large
type. and has wide margins.
