Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: 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 excerpt: 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.

Yes, madam, certain of that; for there was a young lady with her, Miss W., that used to live in Baltimore - I got acquainted with her in new-york, where she often came to visit her married sister, who lived there. When she drew aside her veil, I knew her directly, and she said she remembered me, and told me it was the good Abbess. Mrs. Bertrand then proceeded to give such a correct description of the Abbess, that Mrs. Sey mour, who had once seen and conversed with her at the convent, entertained not the least doubt, that it was she who had anticipated them in this deed of charity. Pray, did you ask the Abbess if she knew the parents of little Fanny? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Washington So many lives of George Washington have already been written that a new one perhaps requires some justification. The character and deeds of the man who stands in the foreground of American history may be regarded from many sides. The brief biography in these pages must, at the beginning, claim to be a woman's way of looking at George Washington. In going over the familiar ground, the author believes she has entered some by-paths where she has gained a new view of the figure which stands in solitary majesty in the heart and imagination of the American people.

This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections Written in the Library of Congress, Washington Of the years of the war I recall only this incident, which is as vivid as yesterday's events Some soldiers (i do not know whether Yankee or Confederate) stopped one day at our home. I was afraid to touch or get near them. I do not know how long they stayed or what they did; except that they took my father's only horse (he had one horse and one mule) which they saw ploughing in a nearby field. He was a nice looking bay horse. They commandeered or captured this horse, to our dismay I suppose the feelings aroused I was too young and too frightened to apprehend. No doubt I thought we were lucky to escape alive from their visit. But they didn't keep this horse. On the hard road he manifested a limp something was wrong with his feet or a leg so he couldn't travel well, although he could pull a plow. It was doubtless due to this defect that we had him at all; for I imagine most able bodied horses and 'mules had been drafted for the Confederate service. So the horse was turned loose by the soldiers before they carried him far, and we were rejoiced to see our dear old horse coming home again.
