GEORGE WASHINGTON'S COPY WITH AUTOGRAPH AND BOOKPLATE

329. [WASHINGTON (GEORGE).] TRUMBULL (JOHN). McFingal. 12mo, original American calf binding, in morocco case. FIRST EDITION. Hartford, 1782

GEORGE WASHINGTON'S COPY, with his AUTOGRAPH SIGNATURE ON title, and his bookplate. From the Huth Collection.

AN ASSOCIATION VOLUME OF UNEQUALLED INTEREST, being Washington's own copy of the First Edition of the great American epic, which gives "in a poetic manner, a general account of the American contest, with a particular description of the characters and manners of the times, interspersed with anecdotes, which no history could probably record or display, and, with as much impartiality as possible, satirizes the follies and extravagances of Americans as well as of their enemies."

The name of the poet Trumbull recalls the historic fact that when Washington was in need of ammunition, and his council and officers could offer no practical solution, the general would say, "We must consult Brother Jonathan," the allusion being to the poet's capable relative, Jonathan Trumbull, the elder, Governor of the State of Connecticut. "Brother Jonathan thus grew into a set phrase.
