    0 RECOMMENDATION BY GEN. WASHINGTON > Mount Vernon, July 3d, 1799. *■ Rev. Sir, ** For your kind compliment, « The Immortal Men- tor, I beg you to accept my best thanks. I have pe- y. rused it with singular satisfaction ; and hesitate not to say, 'hat it is, in my opinion at least, an invaluable com- pilation. I cannot but hope that a book whose con'ents q do such credit to its title, will meet a generous patronage. Should that pa'ronage equal my wishes, you will have no reason to regret, that you ever printed the Im- mortal Mentor. With respect, I am, Rev. Sir, Your most obedient, humble servant, « GEORGE WASHINGTON. «« The Rev. Mr. Weems. The Great Addison bestows the following eulogium on the Author of the first part of this work. CORN \RO was -if an infirm constitution till about forty, when, by obstinatelv persisting in the Rules recom- mended in this Book, he recovered a perfect state of health, insomuch, that at four-score he published this Treatise. He lived to give a fourth edition of it, anH af- ter having passed his hundredth year, died without pain or agony, like one who falls asleep. This Book is highly extolled by many eminent a-ithors, and is written with such a spirit of cheerfulness and good sense, as are the natural concomitants of temperance and virtue.
