Opinions of the Leading Journals. 



"It is in every respect a unique volume, for there is no other one which covers tho 

 same around, and it is a companion to every other one which treats of the Father of his 

 Country. It is manufactured in an unexceptionable style." — Am. Literary Gazette. 



"To any enthusiastic lover of our early national history, tlii delightful, valuable, 

 and handsome volume will supply the inner view, the peep behind the scenes, tho 

 latent life of tho time. What American could consent that Mr. Lossins's Field 

 Book of the Revolution should have remained unwritten ? And Ave believe that 

 the present volume will come to have as great and rare value." — Independent. 



"In this new edition is added a picture of the original plaster mask, molded by 

 Iloudim, the sculptor, on the living face of Washington. The engraving is from a 

 photograph of the original, in possession of Mr. J. E, Snowdon, of this city. This volume 

 is well adapted as a gift-book, being at once historical and artistic. — Philadelphia Press. 



"'The Home of Washington' deserves the appellation given to it, of a 'superb National 

 Gift-book.' The neat revised edition just issued is a unique tribute to the Father of his 

 Countrv. It is a book whose value must necessarily increase with the lapse of years."' — 

 Xttv York Times. 



'• We do not believe there ever was presented to tho reading public a book so noble 

 a* ' Lossing's Home of Washington,' which has just been published. The publisher and 

 author are entitled to universal thanks for the production of so superior a work." — 

 Hilton Traveller. 



11 Lossing has crowned all his labors in preparing ' The Home of Washington,' In 

 which history, biography, and illustrations in the highest style of the art, combine to 

 ionn an elegant volume of permanent value to every American household, a beautiful 

 gil't-houk, a patriotic treasure." — New York Obaefoer.
