Early Sketches of George Washington, Reprinted with Biographical and Bibliographical Notes - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
The earliest sketch of Washington which aspires to the dignity of a biography was published at Philadelphia in 1798, the year preceding his death. It appeared in the Philadelphia Monthly Magazine, and was entitled Memoirs of George Washington, Esq., late President of the United States. These Memoirs were compiled by Thomas Condie, a stationer and bookbinder of that city, who died about the year 1815; the Magazine, published by Mr. Condie at No. 20 Carter s Alley, was issued only for one year, 1798. Before this date, both in England and A merica, a number of sketches or notices of more or less interest had appeared in various forms of publication.
