Also, embracing the Declaration of Independence and signers’ names; the Constitution of the United States and amendments; together with the Inaugural, first Annual, and Farewell Addresses of Washington.

This work contains the lives of Washington and nearly twenty of his officers and associates in the great struggle which resulted in the peace, union and strength which we now so eminently enjoy. It will be found a very valuable acquisition to the public or private library, as the perusal of no one volume in the English language will give the reader such a general idea of the leading incidents of the revolution as this.
Life of Washington.
“General Washington was from his youth devoted to his country; his character therefore cannot be portrayed without bringing into view many important public transactions. It has been the endeavor of the author to display the character of the man who is the subject of the work, by exhibiting in a connected view his actions and his writings; and he has, as far as possible, made this exhibition in the person of General Washington.”
In giving the lives of the conspicuous men of any period, it is believed the best history of that period is given; and in this instance, in giving the life of Washington, it is believed to combine with it a very graphic account of the prominent events and struggles of the American Revolution.
The whole is contained in one neat volume, 12mo., illustrated and handsomely bound in cloth.
