Excerpt from The Republic, or a History of the United States of America in the Administrations, Vol. 2: From the Monarchic Colonial Days to the Present Times The name of Adams is found among the most illustrious on the pages of American history. After half a century or more of partisan turmoil, when most of the great barriers to fair and comprehensive judgment have crumbled in the face of the grand spectacle of national progress, at least one member of the Adams family stands so identified with the birth and establishment of this Government as to merit for him the undivided esteem of his countrymen in all ages. The learning and virtue of John Adams, one of the founders of the Republic, shedding luster on his own times, have become a part of the perpetual heritage of a great and exemplary people. Although Mr. Adams left a monument to himself and his age in his voluminous published and unpublished writings, as well as in his public and official services, yet his name has never been suggested as a fruitful theme for biographers, and hence the task of placing his life and character in a suitable form before the world fell to a worthy descendant, who executed the delicate work with great candor, justness, and wisdom.
