Excerpt from Bibliotheca Washingtoniana: A Descriptive List of the Biographies and Biographical Sketches of George WashingtonThis life history has been written so often, and has appeared in so many forms, from the slight sketch to the ponderous quarto, from the school-book of a single volume, to the finished pro duction of many, that but few are aware of the number and how constantly it has been added to. It is proper, therefore, that some attempt should be made to impart such information, and by devoting this volume to that purpose we shall endeavor to furnish a list of these sketches and biographies, so that the student and reader may know what to refer to and what to make useful.While the list has been made as complete as was possible, we do not necessarily claim it to be exhaustive, especially as regards the sketches; but, at the same time feel assured, that for all practical purposes it will be found sufficient.The chronological arrangement of titles has prevented the grouping together of all the editions of particular works, which would have been desirable, but as such information can he had by reference to the Index, that sequence, certainly the best, has been adhered to.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
