Description of the Diorama Representing the First Inauguration of George Washington, 1789 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Description of the Diorama Representing the First Inauguration of George Washington, 1789
Landlord Washington in answering ne ver made promises to that effect, but also never refused; between the lines could be read the serious, meditative face of a man who feels his responsibility before God and the people and apprehends that he with his abilities could not cope with the tremen dous task. The oldest and most faithful of them laughed at these apprehensions. They knew the deep honesty of his character which did not betray even a shadow of vain conceit. Just as years ago he similarly did not defend his amazing career of commander, each time objecting that he doubted whether he had enough military ability to fulfill what was expected of him. But he fulfilled it supremely, and as delegate too; and later as mere advisor to his political friends he displayed perfect providence, caution, and wisdom, despite the fact that he undertook each task with a modesty un known in politics. Those who knew him realized that this was not spiritlessness, but noble-minded seriousness which prevailed upon him to assert all his strength and abil ities, never to release himself from them until he was victorious. So also did he ac cept the New York message, as an obliga tion of fate to be fulfilled: with silent, pres sed lips.
