[Washington and His Colleagues by Henry Jones Ford]@TWC D-Link bookWashington and His Colleagues CHAPTER IX 37/54
For instance, Washington Irving, who as a child witnessed the first inauguration parade, says in his _Life of Washington_ that the President's coach "was drawn by a single pair of horses." But the detailed account given in the _New York Packet_ of May 1, 1789, the day after the ceremony, says that "the President joined the procession in his carriage and four." The following authorities may be consulted on the point: B.J.Lossing, article in _The Independent_, vol.xli, April 25, 1889. Martha J.Lamb, article in _Magazine of American History_, vol.xx, December, 1888. For details of official etiquette during Washington's administration, the following may be consulted: GEORGE WASHINGTON, _Diary_, from 1789 to 1791.

H.S.RANDALL, _Life of Thomas Jefferson_, 3 vols.

New light has been cast upon Genet's mission, causing a great change in estimates of his character and activities, by materials drawn from the French archives by Professor F.J.Turner, and presented in the following articles: "The Origin of Genet's Projected Attack on Louisiana and the Floridas," _American Historical Review_, vol.iii. "The Policy of France toward the Mississippi Valley," _American Historical Review_, vol.x. "The Diplomatic Contest for the Mississippi Valley," _Atlantic Monthly_, vol.xciii.
