About This Item
Text is unmarked in a square and tight binding. Some foxing and a few smudges on the text margins. Text block edges are age toned. A solid volume over one hundred years old. From a series of 'The Works of Washington Irving." "Washington...had a very little private life but was eminently a public character. All of his actions and concerns almost from boyhood were connected with the history of his country...My work is founded on the correspondence of Washington, which, in fact, affords the amplest and surest groundwork for his biography...I have also made frequent use of 'Washington's Writings' as published by Mr. Sparks." pp3-4.
