“A monumental work of American revolutionary history.”

THE LIFE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON. BY WASHINGTON IRVING. Printed from type, and not stereotyped. Centenial edition, limited to three hundred sets, printed from type specially set for this edition, and distribtued as soon as printed from. The set comprises 5 vols., 4to, and contains 132 steel plates (many of these being printed on India Paper), together with 42 woodcuts, battle-plans, etc., the greater part on Japan paper, inlaid in the text. The steel plates include portraits of a large number of the statesmen and generals of the Revolutionary times, which are not accessible in any other single work. Irving's "Life of Washington" was the crowning work of this great and characteristically American author, and one to which he had given many years of thought and of labour. The work is of first importance, not merely as presenting a lifelike and faithful picture of the man who has been accepted as the first citizen of the Republic," but on the ground of its admirably clear, comprehensive, and impartial narrative of the military operations of the Revolutionary war and of the founding of the Republic. Bryant said: "For Irving's Washington I predict a deathless renown." Prescott wrote of it: "A work as charming as it is trustworthy.' The work is printed upon the finest ragged-edge vellum paper, the size of the leaf being 8x11 inches. The volumes are substantially bound with leather backs, cloth sides, and gilt tops, or they can be supplied, for those desiring the set for extra illustrations, unbound, in paper boxes. Price, in either style, £2. 2s. nett per volume.
