Introduction 
 
 THIS inventory, now printed in full for the first 
 time, was filed in the office of the county clerk 
 of Fairfax county, Virginia, by those charged 
 with the final appraisement of the personal effects of Wash- 
 ington at Mount Vernon. Mr. William C. Lane, librarian 
 of Harvard University, states in his "Inventory of Wash- 
 ington's Library" that 
 
 "The original will [of Washington] is still to be seen there 
 [Fairfax Court House], and this with the other papers men- 
 tioned was copied into the large record volumes, but at the 
 bottom of p. 326, Liber J. i following the 'account of the estate 
 of the late Gen'l Washington with Laurence Lewis ' is found 
 this note, — ' Inventory and appraisement of the Estate of Gen'l 
 George Washington Deceased (ought to be here Recorded). 
 For Inventory look to Wills &c of August Court 18 10 filed. 
 T. C. Nash.' But on inquiry for the files of this date it appears 
 that all the original papers of this time and earlier were scat- 
 tered during the occupation of Fairfax by the Federal troops 
 during the Civil War. The Washington Inventory may pos- 
 sibly have been saved, but its present location, if it is extant, is 
 unknown to the writer." 
 
 Fortunately this paper was preserved, and has now found 
 a fitting niche in a collection of manuscripts where it not 
 
vi Introduction 
 
 only will be free from accidental loss but is now made ac- 
 cessible by publication. An imperfect copy of the Inven- 
 tory was in the possession of John A. Washington, of 
 whom Edward Everett obtained a copy for use in his 
 "Life of George Washington," printed in i860; but some 
 leaves of the manuscript had been lost. This imperfect 
 form has been reprinted several times, but never as a 
 separate piece. What pertains to the library of Washington 
 has been fully studied and annotated by Mr. Lane in 
 the volume on the Washington collection in the Boston 
 Athenaeum (Griffin-Lane), printed in 1897. 
 
 In view of that study I have not thought it necessary 
 to annotate that part of the Inventory, not even to correct 
 the many errors in names and titles. The document is 
 printed as it was written, and may thus serve as a basis 
 for detailed study in special lines. 
 
 The document has a high personal interest. The 
 values affixed to each article are purely arbitrary, and are 
 in no sense correct appraisals, whether of the market value 
 of the thing, or of the value to its possessor, from actual 
 cost or from association. The estate was not in dispute; 
 there was no tax system which imposed making a correct 
 valuation upon the executors; and the formal presentment 
 of the list fulfilled the requirements of the occasion. The 
 sums affixed could be omitted without impairing the real 
 value of the paper, for this value lies in the light it throws

 upon the contents of the house at Mount Vernon, and in- 
 cidentally upon the taste of Washington in gathering 
 them. 
 
 It may be said at this point, that Washington himself 
 was not wholly responsible for the contents. This is es- 
 pecially true of the library, which had grown through 
 gifts rather than through purchases, and thus only in a 
 slight degree reflected the personal taste or judgment of 
 the man. It would give a very wrong impression to pass 
 upon his reading from the list of his books, for it becomes 
 evident at a glance that a majority of the volumes had 
 either been sent to him by writers looking for recognition, 
 or been bought in a desire to assist author or publisher in 
 a venture affected with some public interest. Washing- 
 ton was no reader, and his only enthusiasm lay in books 
 on agriculture, which he studied and laboriously extracted 
 with a minuteness that was extraordinary. As a young 
 officer in the colonial militia he gave some attention to 
 military books, and he is known to have read the play of 
 "Cato." There is little evidence that he cared for history, 
 even of the War of Independence ; and in only one instance 
 has a political volume, immediately dealing with his own 
 conduct, been found with his marginal notes.* An un- 
 usual instance of his attention is that of the single word 
 
 ' Monroe's " View of the Conduct of the Executive of the United States," 
 now in the Library of Harvard University. 
 
viii Introductio7i 
 
 in his copy of Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations," where 
 he has questioned the printing of the good Scotch word 
 "fiars," beheving it to be a misprint for the word "fairs." 
 In his diaries he never mentions the books he was reading, 
 and his correspondence rarely refers to books, unless 
 formally to acknowledge a gift or a dedication, or gives 
 any evidence of a bookish learning. To speak with frank- 
 ness, he read for a purely commercial purpose ; to fit him- 
 self for service in the camp, and to conduct his farming 
 on a profitable basis. He never became a great general; 
 and his agriculture never became a source of profit. In 
 neither case was he responsible for this result. He never 
 had an army efficient for acting on the offensive consist- 
 ently, and a necessity for using slave labor balked every 
 effort to improve his lands. 
 
 In other respects the Inventory is more satisfactory, 
 meagre as it is. In the last forty years the Washington 
 estate, as it was called, was finally settled and a number 
 of relics and manuscripts came into the market. There 
 was much of undoubted value, and the prices were ade- 
 quate, so much so as to encourage the fraudulent. For 
 many years a rather clumsy imitation of Washington's 
 writing was sold to the unwary, in the form of checks 
 purporting to have been drawn upon a bank in Alexan- 
 dria.' This was an innocent deception compared to some 
 
 ' These checks were the work of Robert Spring of Philadelphia. 
 
Introduction ix 
 
 that have been put forth in recent years, and sometimes 
 by dealers of recognized position, who could not plead 
 ignorance as an excuse. Not only have papers been 
 wrongly assigned to Washington, but also to members of 
 his family, and often without a particle of evidence to 
 prove their origin or authenticity, and in the face of proof 
 that they could not be as represented. His book-plate 
 has been reproduced and inserted in volumes that this 
 Inventory could show had never been in his library. 
 Undated manuscripts have been assigned to a particular 
 year, and a story woven round them that would grace any 
 work of fiction, and that has proved of great profit to the 
 romancer. Unfortunately this Inventory can be used 
 only within narrow limits to correct such off^ers and offenses, 
 and will not serve at all in testing fraudulent documents. 
 The descriptions given of pictures, for example, are not 
 sufficient to permit a full identification, but if twenty por- 
 traits of Washington are reported as coming from Mount 
 Vernon, there is ground in this volume for meeting so 
 wholesale a claim. 
 
 It is from the letters of the earlier years that a really 
 fair idea can be gained of Washington's tastes in house- 
 hold furnishings. A Virginia planter had only one 
 market for his principal product, tobacco, and that 
 market was in England or Scotland. Sending his tobacco 
 there, the account was settled almost entirely by such 
 
X Introduction 
 
 manufactures and other articles as were needed on the 
 plantation. The system was as costly as it was unsatis- 
 factory. The planter was rarely contented with the price 
 he obtained for his tobacco, and the difficulties of ordering 
 goods at such a distance were greatly increased by the 
 poor quality of the goods themselves. Carelessness, shop- 
 worn articles, indifferent workmanship, and an open dis- 
 regard of orders complicated the transaction, and the time 
 required for a correction (even if a correction was possi- 
 ble) made the remedy ineffectual. A definite quality of 
 exports, commercially known as "colonials," of second 
 and third qualities, was considered as good enough for 
 the colonies, and hence arose the exact descriptions in- 
 cluded in the planters' orders. 
 
 In the colonial days of Virginia almost every article used 
 in the household, apart from what was grown in the garden 
 or fields, was obtained from England. An invoice was a 
 formidable affair, ranging from tools and nails to medi- 
 cines, perfumed powder and suits, from pickles and cider 
 to shoes and cloths. The last order by Martha Custis, 
 in 1758, amounted to ;C3og. %s ^d and it would be difficult 
 to name any article of ordinary use that had been omitted. 
 This happened only three months after an order amount- 
 ing to £103. 15J '^\d had been filled. In 1764 the total in- 
 voice ordered was ;^474.2.9, and there is no evidence to 
 show that the demand diminished in the years after the 
 
Introduction xi 
 
 stamp tax troubles, when domestic industries were sup- 
 posed to be rising into importance. The plantation of 
 the south, with its large number of slaves, was economically 
 too dependent upon England to be made free by a local, 
 limited, and probably temporary industry in the northern 
 colonies. 
 
 I now quote from some of these early orders which 
 Washington sent to his English agents. 
 
 In April, 1757, when Washington was at Fort Loudoun, 
 he directed his kinsman, Richard Washington, of London, 
 to send him 
 
 " A marble Chimney piece of the Dimensions Inclosd (given 
 by the Workmen) the Cost not to exceed 15 Guineas. N. B. 
 let it be carefully packd" 
 
 Also "i Neat Landskip 3 feet by 2i>2 Inches == i Inch 
 Margin for a Chim^" — a somewhat crude way of ob- 
 taining anything of merit. These London merchants at 
 times sent to their Virginia customers a gift of a picture 
 or piece of furniture; but they could hardly have been 
 connoisseurs of art. It was safe to look to them for 
 "Two neat Mahogany Tables 4^ feet square when spread 
 and to join occasionally;" and "i Doz° neat and strong 
 Mahogany chairs at 21/." There was some standard by 
 which to judge a "neat" Mahogany bit of furniture, or 
 a "fashionable lock for a partition door;" but a "neat 
 
xii Introduction 
 
 Landskip" was too indefinite. It is safe to say that few 
 of the paintings at Mount Vernon, apart from some of the 
 portraits, had any artistic value. In November the goods 
 came by the Peggy and EHzabeth. The chimney-piece 
 was in thirty-one feet of "fine new veined marble," with 
 plinths and iron cramps for mounting it (;^8. 6. 6) ; the 
 two mahogany tables cost £b. lo, and the chairs, described 
 as "best gothick chairs, w^ Pincushion seats, stuff^t in 
 y" best manner and covered with horse hair," were billed 
 at £\z. 12, exclusive of packing. The landscape was 
 "after Claude Lorrain" and cost £1^. 15. 6. 
 
 In the cargo of the Salley, Captain Dick, bound to 
 Rappahannock, in Virginia, came in August, 1757: 
 
 A Bedstead with Mahogany carved and fluted pillars for 
 feet Posts, yellow silk and worsted Damask Fur- 
 niture, lind with Tammy, and carved cornishes

 A short time after Washington wrote: 
 
 To Richard Washington [September, 1757.I 
 
 Dear Sir : Be pleasd over and above what I wrote for in a 
 Letter of the 15'^ April and 10'!' Inst? to send me one doz? 
 strong chairs of about fifteen shillings price, the bottoms to be 
 exactly made by the Inclosd Dimensions and of three different 
 colours to suit the paper of three of the bed Chambers (also 
 wrote for in my last). I must acquaint you, Sir, with the Reason 
 of this request. I have one doz° chairs that were made in the 
 Country neat but too weak for common sitting. I therefore 
 purpose to take the bottoms out of those and put them into 
 these now ordered, while the bottoms which you send will do for 
 the former and furnish the Chambers : for this Reason the 
 Workman must be very exact, neither making the bottoms 
 larger nor smaller than the dimensions, otherwise the change 
 cant be made, be kind enough to give directions that these 
 chairs equally with the others and Tables be carefully packd 
 and stowed, without this Caution they are liable to infinite 
 damage. I am D' Sir, Yf most obed' &c.

 In the same shipment came from Richard Farrer some 
 glass ware and branched candlesticks, and " i pair Seasons, 
 & I pair Music's figures" for the sticks. 
 
 Another invoice of some interest came in the following 
 March, for it included some articles of ornament. Wash- 
 ington had in September, 1759, asked his factor to obtain 
 for him 8 pieces, as follows : 
 
 4. One of Alex' y® Great; another of Julius Caesar; an^ 
 
 of Ch? 12 Sweden; and a 4th of y" King of Prussia. 
 
 N. B. These are not to exceed 15 Inch? in hight, nor

 2 wild Beasts — not to exceed 12 Inch" in highth nor 18

 Sundry small Ornaments for Chimy piece. 
 
 The selection showed his evident taste for great generals, 
 and he was still ambitious of military service, if it could be 
 given without injury to his claims of rank. It must have 
 been something of a disappointment to find, on opening the 
 cases, that his wishes had been thus carried into effect:

 4 Statues, viz. his Father Anchises, his wife Creusa, 
 himself and his son Ascanius, neatly finisht and

 The agent thought some explanation was necessary, for 
 he wrote:

 Chimney Piece, and of all the wild Beasts as could be made 
 there is none thought better than the Lyons. The manner of 
 placing them on y^ Chimney piece sh'' be thus

 In June, 1768, he asked for "as good a spy glass as can 
 be bought for 60/ of a good artist." A year later he wanted 
 "a large hunting horn, bound tight round with small brass 
 wire from one end to the other, and secured in such a 
 manner as to prevent the wires slipping," quite an order 
 for "y* most fashionable kind of Queens Ware," and as 
 handsome a fowling piece, three and one-half feet in the 
 barrel, as could be bought for three guineas. In July, 
 1 77 1, he orders "a candlestick with two lights, and a shade 
 to read and write by, such as they have in the Public 
 Offices, not to exceed 29/," and two sockets for seals, one 
 
xviii Introduction 
 
 to have topaz or some other handsome stone, with the 
 Washington arms neatly engraved thereon, and the other, 
 a plain stone, with the Washington crest. 
 
 The extracts could be extended, but enough has been 
 given to show the little connection possible between the 
 articles bought and those listed in the Inventory. During 
 the War of Independence little was added to the Mount 
 Vernon household, and after the peace, Washington was 
 too much occupied in making good the sad results of neglect 
 and inefficiency to buy largely. His correspondence with 
 Tobias Lear is suggestive, and that with Clement Biddle 
 would add much to our knowledge of his purchases. After 
 all, the net result is to be found in this Inventory, and it 
 will hardly be possible to go beyond it in seeking to re- 
 construct Mount Vernon as it was in his day. 
 
 The survey is an early product of Washington's work, 
 and is obtained from the Library of Congress. It is strange 
 that there is no floor plan of the house at Mount Vernon 
 that could be used in this volume. The only one in print 
 was in such a form that its reproduction was forbidden.
