Excerpt from Eminent and Representative Men of Virginia and the District of Columbia of the Nineteenth Century: With a Concise Historical Sketch of Virginia, by Hon. William Wirt Henry, and of the District of Columbia

The establishment of the national capi tal of the United States involves so many particulars of historical interest, that no apology seems necessary for devoting to it a large portion of this introduction. In doing this, it will be my aim to touch with the' greatest brevity those portions of the history which have been fully brought out in the various-publications upon the subject, devoting the more attention to other incidents.
