The Life of George
Washington by Josephine Pollard - $4
The life story of a
public man cannot help being to some extent the same things as a history of the
times in which he lived, and to the case of none does this remark apply with
more force than that of the “Father of his Country”; which very title shows the
degree to which the personality of its bearer became identified with the public
life of the nation. While a great deal
of the space in this book, consequently, has have to be devoted to American Revolutionary
History, it is hoped that excess in this direction has been avoided, and that
the main purpose of the work will be attained, i.e. to give its young readers a
distinct and vivid idea of the exalted character and priceless services of
Washington, so far as these can be brought within the understanding of a child.
