Washington occupies a unique place, not only in the history ot the United States, but in the history ot the world. No man of such recent years enjoys such a splendid perspective, America views him, not as a man but as a demigod. He looms vast, a hero with the awesome, inspiring splendor that invests the deities of Greek mytholo gY.
