Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fifty-Five Letters of George Washington to Benjamin Lincoln, 1777-1799: Briefly Described, With Foreword, by A J. Bowden Once Before the house of George H. Richmond was enabled to offer to the public a remarkable series of letters by General George Washington. That collection of epistles, written to George and James Clinton, numbered thirty-five, of which twenty-six had never been published. A perusal of this catalogue will show the present collection to be both more extensive and of far greater historical importance. It is, also, of the greater interest, as containing a number of letters wholly in the handwriting of Washington, while the Clinton series did not contain one. When we add that these holograph letters in question include some of the longest and most interesting ever written by Washington and also that they have never been printed the point will at once be conceded. My statement that the twenty-six Clinton letters "form an unpublished series of historic Revolutionary manuscripts such as may never be met with again," was made in good faith, and, judging from the discoveries of many previous years, was fully justified. How, then, to venture to prophesy as to the possibilities of the future? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
