" But this is not
all. To this day in the domestic and foreign affairs of the
United States the words of Washington, the policies which he
favored, have a living and almost binding force. This attitude of
mind is not without its dangers, for nations require to make new
adjustments of policy, and the past is only in part the master of
the present; but it is the tribute of a grateful nation to the
noble character of its chief founder.
BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
In Winsor, "Narrative and Critical History of America", vol. VI
(1889), and in Larned (editor), "Literature of American History",
pp. 111-152 (1902), the authorities are critically estimated.
There are excellent classified lists in Van Tyne, "The American
Revolution" (1905), vol. V of Hart (editor), "The American
Nation", and in Avery, "History of the United States", vol. V,
pp. 422-432, and vol. VI, pp. 445-471 (1908-09). The notes in
Channing, "A History of the United States", vol. III (1913), are
useful. Detailed information in regard to places will be found in
Lossing, "The Pictorial Field Book of the Revolution", 2 vols.
(1850).
In recent years American writers on the period have chiefly
occupied themselves with special studies, and the general
histories have been few.
