Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pictorial Life of George Washington: Embracing Anecdotes, Illustrative of His Character, and Embellished With Engravings, for the Young People of the Nation He Founded We present here, for the study of our youth, the history of the Father of his Country. When Napoleon, the most illustrious monarch of the elder nations met an American at Toulon, he inquired of him "How fares your countryman, the great Washington?´ By all sorts and conditions of men throughout the world, his greatness and his goodness are acknowledged, and it is reasonable that we should be proud of him. He is our standard, by which we judge others who aspire to authority; he is the model, by which the honourably ambitious endeavour to shape their own characters; he is unlike all other heroes, for there is nothing in his actions or opinions to be concealed, nothing to be kept in the shade, nothing which does not tend to increase our love and admiration of him. It is very important, therefore, that everything respecting Washington should be made familiar to the people.
