<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Used throughout the first half of the nineteenth century in schools and colleges, John Marshall's own abridgment of his monumental five-volume biography of George Washington is now available in a Liberty Fund edition that once again brings the spirit of George Washington alive in America's classrooms.</p> <p>Within eight years of the death of George Washington in 1799, John Marshall, who later became Chief Justice of the United States, published his authoritative five-volume biography. Justice Marshall's biographer, Albert J. Beveridge, describes <strong><em>The Life of George Washington</em></strong> as "the fullest and most trustworthy treatment of that period from the conservative point of view."</p> <p>The twentieth and final version of Marshall's abridgement, published in 1849, is the text reproduced in the Liberty Fund edition of what Charles A. Beard has praised as a "great" and "masterly" biography.</p> <p>The editors' foreword and notes, with new maps of major battle campaigns, make this edition especially attractive for classroom use.</p> <p><strong>Robert Faulkner</strong> is Professor of Political Science at Boston College.</p> <p><strong>Paul Carrese</strong> is Associate Professor of Political Science at the United States Air Force Academy.</p>
