The reader who finds Mr.. Thayer's
George Washington" prominently put for
ward among the more serious publications
OF the month is naturally prompted to
ask: why are we offered a new life of
Washington at this time?" The purpose
OF the publishers. as avowed on the folder
inelosing the book, is to make it the defini-
tive one volume biography of Washington
It is an octave OF 260 pages. The work
which most nearly resembles il in style and
makeup is Woodrow Wilson's George
Washington" 314 pages. published by Har-
per & Brothers in 1895. Mr.. Thayer's
object as expressed in his preface has been
TO give a sketch of George Washington's
life and acts. which should disclose "the
human residue" which he felt sure must
persist in Washington's character NO
other great man in history" he says has
had TO live down such a mass OF absurdities
and deliberate false Inventions" including
the picture of an imaginary Father of His
Country amusing himself with a fictitious
cherry tree and hatchet Although this
rubbish has now been cleared away and

ington. many persons still complain that
they cannot discern a flesh and blood Vir-
ginian in the George Washington Of his
tory. It IS to help such readers that Mr.
Thayer has written this book In it he
has conceived of Washington "as of some
superb athlete equipped for every ordeal
which life might cause him 10 face" The
nature of each ordeal is briefly stated and
then we are told how It was overcome. The
author is justified in the confident hope
that those who read this biography will no
longer consider George Washington the
most elusive OF historic personages.
In attempting to classify American men
OF letters Mr.. William Roscoe Thayer
should properly be called an expert in
biography. Not only has he written ad-
mirable biographies of Cavour. John Hay
and Theodore Roosevelt. but he has ex-
pounded the principles Of his calling in
small volume entitled The Art of Biogra-
ply" consisting OF series Of lectures de-
Hvered at the University of Virginia and
published by Scribners in 1920. In one Of
these lectures he says: The essential sub
ject Of the biographer is the soul Of man."
