grower, agrieulturist and fruit grower,
the first president of the United States
has never been duly presented to the
reading public. The introduction Of
mules instead of horses in the south
for agricultural work was largely due
to Washington's efforts, ably supple
mented by the King Of Spain. The re-
demption of peat bogs was studied ex-
perimentally. Consequently, many Of
these books relate to- practical subjects
of this sort:
That Washington's mind anticipated
the great questions Of the nineteenth
century is amply attested by his will,
viz, a due regard for his wife's prop
erty rights and of her wish in regard
to freeing the "dower negroes" as he
calls them; a wish to free all his own
slaves! to see the old and decrepit pro-
vided for and the young educated in
their new found freedom the very prob
lens that the United States of today is
trying to solve.
The library of Washington was large
for its time, although in these days Of
immense public libraries, the depart
ment devoted to these volumes seems
small indeed. But the books are great
in interest. and reveal the many sided
