Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from George Washington at Mount Vernon on the Potomac: To Give a Clearer Idea of the Character of Washington Is to Set a Higher Standard for American Patriotism
On the Potomac, a few miles below the city of Washington, has been standing for nearly two centuries a mansion which is a shrine of humanity, for Mount Vernon is more than a national memorial. Vessels from all parts of the world dip their colors and toll their bells as they pass the place, and distinguished pilgrims of many races lay wreaths at the tomb of him who devoted all he was and all he had to making freedom secure for mankind.
