This very interesting collection, relating, as it does, entirely to a single important historical object, and forming a galaxy of the autographs of the most illustrious of the great and good men of the period of the Revolution, possesses a value far beyond that of a mere collection of autograph letters, inasmuch as many of the writers minutely describe the countenance, features, person and character of Washington; the circumstances under which they met him; some in the field; others under the hospitable roof of Mount Vernon; and relate interesting reminiscences of the events which brought them into his presence. The volume was arranged by the eminent artist himself, and accompanied him during his lecturing tours throughout the United States. It consequently exhibits some exterior evidence of use, although in most excellent preservation. A UNIQUE WASHINGTONIAN MEMORIAL. [PEALE.
