Excerpt from John Adams: A Character Sketch, Including Anecdotes, Characteristics, and Chronology, and John Adams' Speech on the Boston MassacreJohn Adams, the second president of the United States, had the peculiar fortune of being for a while, one of the most honored citizens of the country, intrusted with most important offices and appointments, and rendering services which were recognized as of vital importance to his native land, and then had the misfortune of retiring into private life under a load of calumny and obloquy, which made his name a byword of contempt. But with the fall of slavery and of the predominance of the polit ical cliques and parties that persecuted him unjustly, it is possible to raise him again to his proper place as one of our foremost statesmen.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
