the personal side Of Washington having an in

True George Washington" but Mr. Ellsworth
strikes out for himself on new lines With the
stereopticon he shows an extraordinary number
OF manuscripts and pictures. many Of them from
private collections, never before reproduced. He
has made careful study of the subject. and has
gathered some Of the best Washington material
in existence
The lecture is largely devoted to the boyhood
and young manhood Of Washington His early
efforts in penmanshp are shown: the fiyIeaf Of
a book shows one Of the first examples of Wash
