Book excerpt: Excerpt from Character Portraits of Washington as Delineated by Historians, Orators and Divines The purpose of this volume, now ready for issue, is to exhibit the character of Washington as understood and portrayed by some of the best writers and thinkers; as well by contemporaries, whose personal knowledge and convictions lend additional value, as by those of a later day, whose careful study and critical analysis render their testimony of equal weight and importance. These tributes, scattered throughout many publications, have been brought together, so that all may become familiar with the details of a character which, in its gradual development, reached the highest degree of excellence humanity can attain. The book is a companion volume to Mr. Baker's well known "Engraved Portraits of Washington," and "Medallic Portraits of Washington," making the third of a series, in which the results of years of critical research in the vast mass of permanent records bearing on the personality of Washington have been admirably arranged for consultation. Beautifully printed upon fine paper (size 7 3/4 x l0 inches) the same size and style as the "Engraved Portraits," etc., and bound in cloth, substantially sewed. Price, $5.00. The edition being limited to 350 copies, early orders are necessary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
