Excerpt from The Secret Obstacles in Washington's Career It seems rash to try to say anything new about Washington. Every transaction of his life has been minutely investigated, every de tail has been described in many books, and, upon the whole, no man of the Eighteenth Century is more thoroughly, accurately and univer sally known.
