Washington, George. Washington and the West. [**]$2. Century.

A volume which contains the diary kept by Washington in September, 1784, during his journey into the Ohio basin in the interest of a commercial union between the Great lakes and the Potomac river. Mr. Hulbert’s commentary shows Washington to be an active, wide-awake practical man of affairs which is a little-known and less-appreciated phase of his character.

[*] “It is a valuable addition to the literature dealing with Washington, the man and the statesman.”

[*] “An interesting and valuable book, somewhat too strongly colored by certain prejudices which affected the editor from the beginning of his task.”

“Mr. Hulbert’s notes, therefore, are as interesting to read as the diary.”

“This is a valuable portrait of Washington in an aspect comparatively disregarded hitherto, a portrait drawn by himself.”
