Weems' Life of Washington and Life of Marion. We took occasion, yesterday, while alluding to the literary achievements of General Lee, to remark that very few Virginians had written books that a man can read through.-- There are not many, we presume, who will dispute this proposition. We had great political writers in the olden time, but there are not many who care to read their works from title page to colophon. Of the few Virginia written books which we can read with unwearied interest, we are not ashamed to confess that the Life of Washington, by Mason L.

He likes something stirring — something animated-- something full of action — it may be the action of grown men or giants, but not of children. When the boy gets beyond the nurser
