John Marshall’s Life of George Washington is one of the earliest major biographies of Washington, written by the Chief Justice of the United States and issued here in the first edition Philadelphia printing. This partial set comprises volumes II, III, and V only, published by C. P. Wayne in 1805, 1805, and 1807, and forms part of Marshall’s monumental early nineteenth-century account of George Washington, the American Revolution, the War for Independence, the founding of the United States, and the early Federal period. A cornerstone work of Americana, presidential biography, Revolutionary War history, and early American printing, Marshall’s biography is prized for its close historical connection to the events it describes and for its lasting importance in the literature of Washingtoniana, the Founding Fathers, United States history, and Philadelphia imprints. Desirable as an early and authoritative life of Washington, these volumes appeal to collectors of antiquarian books, early American history, military history, political history, and American first editions.

The very best seller I have encountered on eBay! I plan to do business with Westchester Books again, if they will accept my business. Sadly, I had to return the books I purchased from them, through no fault of theirs. They were patient, responsive, and understanding. If you could choose only one book seller on eBay, Westchester Books is the one you should choose. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!! Great seller! Fast shipping. Excellent packaging. Great value. I plan to buy again from this seller.
