July is the month when we celebrate 248½ years of a Republican Form of Government, plus a year and a half of whatever this is, and what better way to celebrate than with the only true account of the life and career of George Washington, the Father of His Country? For the whole month of July, every other day, one chapter of Memoir of the Late George Washington, by an Associate, will appear in this space. It will be every other day because any more would exceed the recommended maximum dosage of George Washington in such a short period.

Of course, if you are impatient and want to read all about George Washington now, the whole book is available in print or electronic form.
