The Century will publish during the
coming year what seems likelyAto be pro-
nounced daring and unique piece Of his
torical writing, 1.-THE Youth of Washing
ton: Told in the Form of an Autobiog--
raply." by 8. Weir Mitchell Ill. D., au-
thor Of Hugh Wynne." .
The author ilnagines the Father of His
Country 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., To do this DR.. Mitchell has attempted
ject, to produce in his own mind an illu-
sion of the events of a century and a half
ago, and then to write down his impress
sions by sheer force of INSTALLATION.
