GEORGE WASHINGTON
By Woodrow Wilson, Ph.D., LL.D. Copiously Illustrated by Howard Pyle, Harry Fenn, and Others. Crown 8vo, Cloth, Deckel Edges and Gilt Top, $3.00.
What particularly strikes the reader in enjoying Professor Woodrow Wilson's "George Washington" is the way the writer makes that historic figure warm and vital for us.... This stimulating and delightful historical study.... This work of Professor Wilson's must be widely recognized as of great value, because of this grasping of the salient features of Washington's life and character, the features we all want to see.—Hartford Courant.
We must now be content with a word of praise for its finished literary workmanship, its accurate scholarship, and its high patriotic ideal. We doubt if the career of Washington has ever received worthier treatment at the hands of biographer, historian, or political philosopher.—Dial, Chicago.
A familiar and delightful study of Washington.... We do not recall a popular work on Washington of more graphic interest than Professor Wilson's performance.—Philadelphia Bulletin.

The youth of George Washington is treated in almost biographic form, and certainly with lifelike effect.... The book is well adapted to the needs of young people, giving them an admirable picture of Washington's early home life.—Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph.
