This is a new release of the original 1924 edition.
This book by Gaston Lichtenstein is an antiquarian's pleasure. An
antiquarian is an enthusiast for things historical, and historians
sometime regard being called an antiquarian as an insult, as a slur
on their scholarship. But rather than a term of abuse, the word can
be a compliment, suggesting intellectual curiosity and a passion
for proof. That is the case with Lichtenstein, who was eclectic in
his writing career, producing work on Freemasonry, Iberian
prisoners of war, Atlantic City piers, colonial North Carolina, and
in the case of this book, George Washington's birthday. He was a
highly readable author who loved to browse in all kinds of areas,
and probably is a better companion by the fireside than many more
pretentious scholars.
