Excerpt from Eulogies and Orations on the Life and Death of General George Washington, First President of the United States of America In obedience to your will, I rise your humble organ, with the hope of executing a part of the system of public mourning which you have been pleased to adopt, commemorative of the death of the most illustrious and most beloved personage this country has ever produced; and which, while it transmits to posterity your sense of the awful event, faintly represents your knowledge of the consummate excellence you so cordially honour. Desperate, indeed, is any attempt on earth to meet correspondently this dispensation of Heaven; for, while with pious resignation we submit to the will of an all-gracious Providence, we can never cease lamenting, in our finite view of Omnipotent Wisdom, the heart-rending privation for which our nation weeps.

George Washington: With a Collection of Elegant Eulogies, Orations, Poems, &C.; Sacred to His Memory; Also, an Appendix, Comprising All His Most Valuable Public, Papers, and His Last Will and Testament In the House of Representatives of the United States, December 23, 1799, general Marshal made a report from the joint committee appointed to consider a suitable mode of commemorating the death of general Washington. He reported the following resolutions, which passed both houses unanimously: Resolved, By the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled That a marble monument be erected by the United States at the Capitol of the city of Washington, and that the family of general Washington be requested to permit his body to be deposited under it, and that the monument be so designed as to commemorate the great events of his military and political life. And be it further resolved, That there be a funeral procession from congress-hall to the German lutheran church, in memory of general George Washington, on Thursday the 26th instant, and that an oration be prepared at the request of congress, to be delivered before both houses that day; and that the president of the senate, and speaker of the house of representatives, be desired to request one of the members of congress to prepare and deliver the same. And be it further resolved, That it be recommended to the people of the United States, to wear crape on their left arm, as mourning, for thirty days. And be it further resolved, That the president of the United States be requested to direct a copy of these resolutions to be transmitted to Mrs. Washington, assuring her of the profound respect congress will ever bear for her person and character, of their condolence on the late affecting dispensation of providence, and entreating her assent to the interment of the remains of general Washington in the manner expressed in the first resolution.

The news of the death of George Washington at Mount Vernon on December 14, 1799, was reported to have been "felt as an electric shock throughout the union." Martha Washington gave permission for Congress to have her husband's body reinterred under a marble monument to be constructed in the new capital in Washington, D.C. Grieving Americans organized and participated in over four hundred funeral processions and memorial services during the sixty-nine-day mourning period that culminated on February 22, 1800, the National Day of Mourning. Washington's death came in a highly contentious period in American political history, and a variety of groups and individuals tried to take advantage of the occasion to advance their own agendas. Federalist officials, including President John Adams and Alexander Hamilton, themselves at odds on a number of issues, took a leading role in ceremonies that included mock funerals with empty caskets orchestrated by Hamilton, who also used the occasion to advocate for a large standing army. Although Jefferson and his Democratic Republicans were about to knock the Federalists out of political contention, in what Jefferson termed the "Revolution of 1800," in 1799 Federalists predominated in ceremonial and print commemorations of Washington. Religious leaders, whose moral authority was on the wane, tried to Christianize Washington, while Masons used the most illustrious member of their secret brotherhood to rehabilitate an image tarnished by charges of religious infidelity and association with the excesses of the French Revolution. Women of various stations and political stripes also took advantage of the occasion to help legitimize their participation in public life. The biographical sketches included in over three hundred eulogies provide a unique historical perspective on who George Washington was in the eyes of his contemporaries.
