 THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT ON AN AUTUMN MORNING 

 "Taken bv itself, the Washington Monument stands not only as one of the most 

 stupendous works of man, but also as one of the most beautiful of all human creations. 

 Indeed, it is at once so great and so simple that it seems to be almost a work of nature 

 Dominkting the entire District of Columbia, it has taken its place with the Capitol and the 

 White House as the three foremost national structures."
