Anotace knihy

Volume 1 of the Presidential Series covers the months immediatelybefore Washinton's election. Opening in September 1788, at the point when it wascertain that the Constitution would be ratified, the documents trace the mountingpublic pressure upon Washington to agree to accept the presidency. His lettersreveal poignantly his own misgivings about leaving Mount Vernon to return to publiclife. Well before he was offered the presidency he was deluged with applications forpublic offices. These letters are singularly revealing of economic and socialdisruption in the aftermath of the Revolution and of the political and socialassumptions of Americans at the beginning of the new nation. Letters written toWashington during these months from all over the country report the gradualacceptance of the new government and the progress of the first federal elections inthe states. His correspondence with foreign admirers is alsoextensive.
