George Washington: A Collection is
a significant expansion to the writing on the American Revolution. The book
gives an awe inspiring prologue to Washington and his political convictions, to
the occasions of the Revolution through which he lived, and to the
eighteenth-century world.

George Washington represents
himself for the benefit of freedom and the rising American republic in this
attractive book, the only one-volume accumulation in print of his tremendous
compositions.
While each American perceives
Washington as a military head and the extraordinary representative figure of
the early republic, many neglect to value the full proportion of Washington's
commitments to the nation. In these determinations, his political thoughts and
decisions stand out with wonderful clearness. His compositions are packed with
supported, mindful editorial. Washington should now be recognized as a man of
sharp political understanding just as a national saint.
Drawing widely on his
correspondence, this volume additionally incorporates the majority of his
presidential locations, different open declarations, his last will and
confirmation, and the most exhaustive recompilation of the "disposed of
first debut" at any point printed.
