George Washington’s Farewell Address is a short but historically significant political text, presented here in the Books of American Wisdom edition. Rather than a modern narrative or commentary-driven study, it preserves Washington’s final public statement as president, delivered in 1796 when he chose not to seek a third term. The work is best understood as a foundational American civic document that reflects the early republic’s anxieties and ideals. Its purpose is practical as well as ceremonial: Washington explains why voluntary departure from office matters, then sets out guiding principles for the new nation. The text emphasizes union, constitutional fidelity, public virtue, and caution in foreign policy. Because this edition is compact and accessible, it is often used by readers who want direct contact with the original source rather than a secondary interpretation. It remains relevant not because it solves modern political problems, but because it frames recurring questions about faction, national cohesion, and republican self-government.
