Book Description
Excerpt from The Mount Vernon Papers The following correspondence sufficiently explains the origin of the "Mount Vernon Papers," and will serve as an appropriate introduction to the present volume. Dear Sir: - I have a proposition of a somewhat peculiar nature to make to you: For the purchase of the Mount Vernon property you have done more than any other man, or, I might say, than all other men. To your eloquent appeal in its behalf is pre-eminently due the credit of the progress already made in that noble work, and the favor with which the subject is universally received by our people from one extremity of the land to the other. The heart of the public has naturally warmed towards you, on account of your well-timed and well-directed efforts to rescue the tomb of the Father of our country from neglect and dilapidation. Knowing that you have been no less distinguished in literature than in official life, it has occurred to me that it might be as agreeable to you to aid the patriotic and benevolent enterprise which you have undertaken, by contributions to the columns of a weekly paper of unprecedented circulation, as by a public address.

Book Description
Excerpt from Mount Vernon: A Letter to the Children of America It is more than a hundred years since George Washington first lived at Mount Ver non. He went there a youth-a noble youth of fifteen, sound in body, ardent in temper, generous at heart, purely upright in word and in deed. Already, at that early day, he was fitting himself with care for the great work of life - by study, by forming healthy habits of body and of mind, by good thought and worthy action.

Excerpt from An Account of the Manuscript Papers of George Washington, Which Were Left by Him at Mount Vernon: With a Plan for Their Publication This period will occupy a comparatively small portion of the work yet it will by no means he the least valuable. When it is recollected, that Washington was then a mere youth, engaged in hazardous enterprises, to which he was led by his native ardor and spirit; that, from the age of twentytwo to twentyseven, he held a very responsible command over the united forces of the largest colony on the continent, and was required to defend a dangerous frontier, where he was exposed to the perpetual incur sions of the French and Indians; that he acquitted himself hon orably on all occasions, and received the public thanks of his government, and the unanimous applause of his fellow cit izens, for his good conduct; when these circumstances are brought to mind, the conviction cannot be resisted, that an ac count of such a train of occurrences, written by his own hand.

To the eye of the way farer, it would, even were its history unknown, appear, seated as it is, embowered in trees, a haven of rest for those buffeted by the storms of the outer world.
