Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1848 edition. Excerpt: ... WASHINGTON AND THE GENERALS OF THE REVOLUTION. GEORGE WASHINGTON. It is a truth, illustrated in daily experience, and yet rarely noted or acted upon, that, in all that concerns the appreciation of personal character or ability, the instinctive impressions of a community are quicker in their action, more profoundly appreciant, and more reliable, than the intellectual perceptions of the ablest men in the community. Upon all those subjects that are of moral apprehension, society seems to possess an intelligence of its own, infinitely sensitive in its delicacy, and almost conclusive in the certainty of its determinations: indirect, and unconscious in its operation, yet unshunnable in sagacity, and as strong and confident as nature itself. The highest and finest qualities of human judgment seem to be in commis sion among the nation, or the race. It is by such a pro cess, that whenever a true hero appears among mankind, the recognition of his character, by the general sense of Vol. I. 1 humanity, is instant and certain: the belief of the chief priests and rulers of mind, follows later, or cornes not at all. The perceptions of a public are as subtly-sighted, as its passions are blind. It sees, and feels, and knows the excellence, which it can neither understand, nor explain, nor vindicate. These involuntary opinions of people at large explain themselves, and are vindicated by events, and form at last the constants of human understanding. A character of the first order of greatness, such as seems' to pass out of the limits and course of ordinary life, often lies above the ken of intellectual judgment; but its merits and its infirmities never escape the sleepless perspicacity of the common sentiment, which no novelty of form can surprise, and no...

Excerpt from The Life and Times of General Washington, Vol. 1 of 2 It has been a primary object with the writer of the following pages to supply these deficiencies. For the private history and correspondence of Washington, he has had recourse to all accessible and authentic sources; and in developing the causes which led to the American Revolution, he has endeavoured to delineate with impartiality the political movements both of the Colonies and the parent State.

Book Description
Excerpt from Washington and His Generals, Vol. 1 of 2 Some would think that such men as Morgan, and Henry Lee, and Sumpter, and Pickens, and Clinton, and others deserve a prominent place, and so they do; but acting in a subordinate capacity, it is impossible to place them in any other relative position. Lee and Morgan especially, merit all the praise bestowed on any chief commander. I have therefore endeavored to render them, and others justice, in describing the battles they helped to gain; and in an Appen dix supplied their biograjphies. Colonel Hamilton too was one of the most important men of the Revolution but as aid to Washington, his services partook more of the cabinet than of the field. Probably, there was no officer in the service more capable of managing an army, or that would have shed greater lustre on our arms than he. But Washington could not Spare him from his Side. Chivalrous, brave, of profound forethought, and trancendent genius, he would have run a military career surpassed by none. Still he rendered greater service where he was - for the daring and resolute youth was one Of the firmest props of Washington. But as my design is to sketch the military part of the Revolution, and also to confine myself to the chief commanders, I have not incorporated him in the work.

Book Description
Excerpt from The American Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2 It is an obvious comment upon the present work, that a story of the American Revolution which stops with the sur render oi Cornwallis and the consequent fall of Lord North's ministry is incomplete. One might reply, in general, that any historical narrative must needs be incomplete wherever it may happen to stop; but on the present occasion a more suitable answer is that the story is continued in my book entitled The Critical Period of American History, the first chapter of which deals with the Results of Yorktown. The text of this edition has been thoroughly revised, and in many places new matter has been added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of George Washington, Vol. 1 of 2: Commander in Chief of the American Forces, During the War Which Established the Independence of His Country, and First President of the United States The period during which he lived, and acted a conspicuous part in American affairs, was the most interesting of American history. The war of our revolution, the very instructive interval between its termina tion and the adoption of our present constitution, the organization of the new government, and the principles which were developed in its first operation, form great epochs, claiming the attention not only of every statesman, but of every American unwilling to remain ignorant of the history of his country, and the character of his countrymen.

Book Description
Excerpt from Washington, or the Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2: A Drama (in Blank Verse;), Founded Upon the Historic Events of the War for American Independence And if, in addition to this, a firmer resolve is made by those who read this story to secure themselves against threatening dangers and to extend over the world the blessings our fathers gave by a devoted allegiance to law and order, as honestly expressed in the will of the majority, the only sovereign of an intelligent and a free people, then this has not been written in vain. The foregoing introduction was used in the publication of this work when it was first given to the public in "prose." In response to a general demand this "drama" has now been changed to "blank-verse," and the same introduction, serving as well now as then, is reproduced without change.
