Washing ton s ancestry. Horace, Odes, IV, 4 . 8 tr (B&munfc (Wloneon Tennyson s Lady Clara Vere de Vere! Lawrence Washing ton. Washing ton s love of England. 1 Howe er it be, it seems to me Tis only noble to be good ; Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith than Norman blood. (Applause. ) No, I cannot fancy Washington troubling him self even in his boyhood upon a point so unprofit able ; but I can well understand his interest in all that he must have heard of the Mother Country dur...ing the years of his intimate and affectionate association with his elder brother Lawrence, who, as we know, had been sent by his father, at the age of fifteen, to complete his education in Eng land ; and who returned, after six or seven years, to America a well-educated and accomplished young man. The interest shown by Lawrence Washington in his half-brother was more than fraternal, and that interest was returned in kind. From his elder brother George Washington must have heard much of that England which he was never to see himself, of that England, from politi cal connexion with which he could, as a boy, but little have dreamed that he was destined to act as the principal instrument of severance.
