Transcriber's Notes:

"This work challenges attention for the really valuable light which it throws upon the character of George Washington."

—Philadelphia Bulletin.

"The volume is particularly worth reading because it revives the many-sided nature and activity of a truly great man."

—Springfield Republican.

"A most readable and entertaining volume. Jefferson will stand higher in popular estimation because of the human touch in the picture."
