 (From " Life of George Washington.") 



" Mr. Hale, in this volume, written though it be in a quiet and subdued 

 manner, brings us, as it were, closer to that illustrious one ever}- man, 

 woman, and child in this country should worship." — X. Y. Times. 



"... As the reader of this book will learn, Washington left, ar- 

 ranged in careful order, perhaps more materials for his biography than any 

 man of his centurj' ; but a certain habit of deifying him has thus far pre- 

 vented \*Titers of his life from approaching the study of the man . 

 It has been my aim, using chiefly in my narrative the diaries and letters of 

 the man himself, to present to the new generation of Americans, the human 

 Washington in such a way that they may have some conception of the man 

 and of the advantages and the disadvantages with which he worked through 

 his gjreat career." — Extract from Author s Preface.
