of Englishmen. Naturally it has taken
a long time for the English people to
bring themselves to pay this kind Of
tribute to the man who tore from them
a great oversee empire, but for decades
now English writer's have measured up
Washington as one of the greatest men
of all times, and in all British illusions
to him the bitterness so apparent in the

been absent. Great love hath the Brit
