The True Story of George Washington.
Lothrop. 1.50
One of the best of modern Americans, James Russell Lowell, who
was born on the same day of the month as Washington, February
twenty-second, wrote, shortly before his death, to a school-girl
whose class proposed noticing his own birthday: "Whatever else
you do on the twenty-second of February, recollect, first of all,
that on that day a really great man was born, and do not fail to
warm your hearts with the memory of his service, and to brace
your minds with the contemplation of his character. The rest of
us must wait uncovered till he be served."
This is a good text for those boys and girls who may be led to
read this true story of George Washington.
