Excerpt from The Alhambra: Selected From Author''s Revised Edition

Washington irving was born in New York, April 3, 1783, the year in which the British troops withdrew from the city. A few months after, General Washington marched in with the Conti neutal army, and the patriotic mother said Washington''s work is now ended, and the child shall be named after him. When W''ashington was again in New York as first President, the child''s enthusiastic Scotch nurse followed the hero into a shop one day and presented his young namesake.
