fact that Mr.. David S. Woodrow of
this city has, after much research
and labor, compiled a memorial
George Washington Book" which
critics pronounce one of the most
unique books of the century, and
wherever it is seen is receiving rich
encomiums.
Mr.. Woodrow has made arrange

print the book under the name of the

$40 per copy, but the price of the De
Luxe edition will range from $50 to
$500 per copy.
