Tha life of our WASHINGTON cannot
'suffer by a comparitoo with those of other

I and exalted in Fame. Tbe attributes and
decorations of Royalty, conld only have
served to eclipse the majesty of those vir
tues, which made bim, from being a modest

fortune, had b lvtd,vould btrcsfttr hsvt,
'sullied bis glory only with those superficial

'deserve to enjoy It. Malice could never
