Book Description
Excerpt from Memoirs of Washington "Another Life of Washington!" Anticipating this very natural exclamation, let the new aspirant be allowed a few words of explanation, if not apology. Abundant and excellent are the biographies of Washington, certainly. Yet there seems room for one especially adapted to young people - not children, exactly, but the older pupils in our schools, and some learners who have done with schools. For these, the very fulness of the best lives of Washington renders them unsuitable. Details of battles and statesmanship, the cruelties of war and politics, are not particularly interesting or instructive to the young.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of George Washington The enterprising proprietors of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica" requested the late Lord Macaulay to prepare the article on "Washington," for the new Edition of that work now in course of publication. His other engagements prevented his complying with their request, and thinking also that it would, on some accounts, be desirable that the memoir of Washington should be written by a countryman, he advised the Messrs. Black to apply to me. This they did in the month of March, 1859, expressing the wish that the article should be furnished to them in Edinburgh, in the month of October last.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Youth of Washington: Told in the Form of an Autobiography As I was silent for a little, this gentleman, who became my aide-de-camp in June, 1780, and for whom I conceived a warm and last ing affection, thinking his remark might have been considered a liberty, said as much, excusing himself. I replied that, so far from annoying me, I found what he had to say interesting. When, recently, these remarks of Colo nel Tilghman recurred to me, I felt that they were correct, and dwelling upon them at this remote time, my interest in the se quenes of the events of my youthful life assumed an importance which has led me of late to endeavour, with the aid of my diaries, to refresh my memories of a past which had long ceased to engage my at tention.
