Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of George Washington, Vol. 5 of 5 How far this, the last labor of his pen. May meet with general seceptntion is with him a matter of hope rather than of confidence. He is conscious of his own short-comings and of the splendid achievements of oratory of which the character of Washington has recently been made the theme. Grateful, however, for the kindly disposition which has greeted each successive volume, and with a profound sense of the indul gence he has experienced from the public through a long literary career. Now extending through more than half a century, he resigns his last volume to its fate, with a feeling of satisfaction that he has at length reached the close of his task, and with the comforting assurance that it has been with him a labor of love. And as such has to a certain degree carried with it its own reward. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
