Description

Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

American anthologist, editor and poet Rufus Wilmot Griswold's historical study notable events in America during the presidency of George Washington.

First published in 1854 the work was identified as mixing historical fact with apocryphal legend to such a degree that they were indistinguishable from one another, yet remains a fascinating insight into post-Revolution American society.

Illustrated with twenty-five engraved portraits of 'distinguished women' from the period, with the vast majority of these being portraits of Mrs. Washington. Collated, complete.
