This book is a collection of 180 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of George Washington: “I have no other view than to promote the public good, and am unambitious of honors not founded in the approbation of my Country.” “A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite.” “A government is like fire, a handy servant, but a dangerous master.” “A people... who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages may achieve almost anything.” “A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the true criterion of the attachment of friends.” “A variety in punishment is of utility, as well as a proportion.” “Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake.” [more]

To obviate misunderstanding, it seems well to warn the reader that this book aims only at giving a sketch of George Washington's life and acts. I was interested to discover, if I could, the human residue which I felt sure must persist in Washington after all was said. Owing to the pernicious drivel of the Reverend Weems no other great man in history has had to live down such a mass of absurdities and deliberate false inventions. [more]

Few men have the goal of their ambition in sight at thirty-eight years of age. But Sir Percy Carlyon had, when he was appointed First Secretary of the British Embassy at Washington, with a very well-arranged scheme worked out by which, at the end of four years, he was to succeed his uncle, Lord Baudesert, the present Ambassador. This realisation of his dreams came to Sir Percy on a December afternoon dark and sharp, as he tramped over the frozen ground through the stark and leafless woods, which may yet be found close to Washington.

A Little Girl in Old Washington By Amanda M. Douglas. Published in 1900 and now republish again in ePub file. This book has 21 chapters. CHAPTER I. A NEW HOME. "But you will have to take sides," declared Jaqueline Mason, "and it would be ungrateful if you did not take our side. You are going to live here; you really belong to us, you know. Your mother was own cousin to our dear mother, and Patty was named after her——" "I don't see why I should be called Patty when you've given up Jack and make such a fuss!" interrupted a slim, unformed girl, who was nearly as tall as the first speaker. "Well, Miss Patty, I am sixteen and in long gowns; and next winter I expect to go to balls and parties, and be presented at the White House. Oh, I wish it was a court!" A young fellow, astride the low window seat, laughed with a teasing, bantering sound in his voice, and his deep eyes were alight with mirth. [more]
