,M V 1 N c E N T 1 A GEORGE WASHINGTON 1732 ................................ 1932 Mount Vernon Tribute Washington, the Defender of his Country, the Founder of Liberty, the Friend of Man: History and Tradition have been explored in vain for a parallel to his character. In the annals of modern greatness, he stands alone, and the noblest names of antiquity lose their lustre in his presence. Born the benefactor of mankind, he united all the qualities necessary to an illustrious career. Nature made him greatghe made himself virtuous. Called by his country to the defense of her liberty, he triumphantly vindi- cated the rights of humanity and, on the pillars of national independence, laid the foundations of a great republic. Twice invested with the supreme magistracy by the unanimous voice of a free people, he surpassed in the cabinet the glories of the field and, voluntarily resigning the sceptre and the sword, retired to the shades of private life. A spectacle so new and sublime was contemplated with the pro- foundest admiration and the name of Washington, adding new lustre to humanity, resounded to the remotest regions of the earth. ' Magnanimous in youth, glorious through life, great in death, his highest ambitions the happiness of mankind, his noblest victory the con- quest of himself, bequeathing to posterity the inheritance of his fame and building his monument in the hearts of his countrymen, he lived, the ornament of the 18th century and died, regretted by a mourning world. 7
