Dr.. Mitchell, in whose famous "Hugh
Wynne" General W Washington appeared
as character of the novel, with gen
eral acceptation, and whose address In
Philadelphia on February 22, 1904,
showed strong imaginative sympathy
with his subject, has made an exhaus-
tive study of the heredity, circum
stances, and events which fitted the
son of Virginia planter for one of
the greatest careers in history. DR..
Mitchell imagines Washington sitting
down at Mount Vernon in his old age
and recording, solely for his own eye,
the story of his youthful life and the
influences that affected it for good or
ill., The author has so fully entered
into the habit of mind of Washington
that it is impossible for the ordinary
reader to separate in the text the pas
sages taken out of his actual writings
from those which DR.. Mitchell mag
ines him to write N one can read
this record without obtaining a new
and vivid sense Of the personality OF
ashington and of the remarkable ex-
periences which made him the man fer
the hour and for all time. . ..ss
