A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The pet child of the Republic, Washington City, is unknown to the majority of the American people. Few have seen it, and there is no work in print describing its varied attractions and sights, or making plain that inner life which daily transpires within it, and in which the whole country is so much interested. It is the centre from which radiate those influences which make our national existence great or feeble? and the entire Republic is affected by its weal or woe. There is a growing desire manifested on all sides to know more of the Capital of the Nation, and it is the object of this volume to gratify this laudable and natural curiosity. It is believed that the picture herein presented is complete, and the author has labored faithfully to make it accurate. The Publishers, on their part, have spared no expense to render the book attractive. As a guarantee of the excellence and fidelity of the engravings of the Public Buildings, it is only necessary to mention that they were prepared in the famous establishment of Messrs. Harper Bros. J. B. E. January 23, 1869.
