SOCIETY
GEORGE CANNING
ON WASHINGTON

The following True and beautiful
portrait OF the character of General
Washington" by the Hon. George Can
ming. Prime Minister of England, ap-
pears in "Washington's Letters on
agriculture:
General Washington was. We believe.
in his sixty-eishth year. The height
OF his person was about fve-feet elev-
en-: his chest full. and his limbs.
tho rather slender. we'll -sha ped and
muscular. His head was small, in
which respect he resembled the make
Of great number of his countrymen.
His eyes were OF a very light gray
color; and, in proportion to the length
of his face, his nose was long. Mr..
Stewart the eminent portrait painter.
used TO say. there were features in his
face totally different from what he had
observed in that of any other human
being; the sockets OF his eyes. for
instance. were larger than he had ever
met with before. and the upper part of
the nose broader. All his features, he
observed. were Indicative OF the strong
est passions, yet. like Socrates. his
Judgment, and great seif-command.
have always made him appear a man
OF different character in the eyes OF
the world. He always spoke with great
difirence. and sometimes hesitatcd for
n word. but 1t was always to find one
his meaning. His language was manly
and expressive. At levee, his dis
courses with strangers turned princ!-
pally upon the subject of America:
and II they had been thru any remark
able places his conversation was free
and particularly interesting. for he
was Intimately acquainted with every
part OF the country. He was much
more open and free in his behavior at
the levcc than in private. and in the
company of ladies, still moro so than
when solely with men. Few persons
ever found themselves for the first
time in the company OF General WASH
ington without being Impressed with a
certain degree OF vencration and awe:
nor did those emotions subside on a
closer acquaintance; on the contrary
his person and department were. such
as rather tended to augment them.
The whole range OF history does not
present to our view 4 character upon
which we can dwell with such entire
and unmixed admiration. The long
life OF Washington is not stained BY
. single blot.
He was indeed a man OF such rare
endowments, and such fortunate tenn
perament. that every action he per-
formed was alike exempted from the
character of vice or weakness. What
ever he said. or did. or wrote. was
stamped with a striking and peculiar
propr!c:y. All his qualities were Sc
Pueblo chieftain., 1921-02-20

happily blended, and so nicely har-
monized, that the result was a great
and perfect whole: the powers of his
mind, and the disposition Of his heart.
We're admirably suited to each other.
1t was the union of the most consum-
mate prudence, with the most perfect
moderation. His views, tho large and
liberal, were not extravagant. his
virtues, tho comprehensive and bene-
ficent: were discriminating. judicious,
and practical. yet his character. tho
regular and uniform. possessed none of
the littleness which may sometimes be-
long to those descriptions of men. 1t
formed a majestic pile. the effect of
which was not impaired. but improved
by order and symmetry: there was
nothing in 1t to dazzle by wildness. or
surprise by eccentricity. 1t was high
er species OF moral beauty: it con-
tanned everything great and elevated,
but 1t had no false and tinsel orra-
ment; it was not he model cried up
by fashion and circumstances; its ex-
cellence was adapted to the true and
just moral taste, incapable OF change
from the varying accidents OF man
ners aad opinions.
General Washington was not the idol
of day. but the hero OF ages. Placed
in circumstances OF the most trying
difficulty at the beginning of the Amer
lean contest. he accepted that situa-
ton which was preeminent in danger
and responsibility. His perseverance
overcame every obstacle, conciliated
every opposition; his genius supplied
every resource His enlarged views
could plan, revise, and improve every
branch OF civil and military operation.
He had the superior courage which can
act. or forbear to act. as true policy
dictates, careless OF the reproaches OF
ignorance. either in power. or out of
power. He knew how to COnducr by
waiting in spite OF obloquy, for the
moment OF victory, and he merited true
praise by despising unmerited censure.
In the most arduous movements OF
the contest, his prudent hr,nness
proved the salvation OF the cause
which he supported. His conduct was
on all occasions guided by the most
TO low and groveling motives, he
seemed to be uninaucnccd by that am
bition which has justly been called the
instinc. OF great souls. He acted ever
as II his countrys welfare, and that
alone. was the moving spring. His
excellent mind needed not even the
stimulus OF ambition, or the prospect
consideration. He performed great
