Excerpt from Lives of Celebrated Statesmen John Quincy Adams is one of those men whose history is so marked and signalized by the events that crowd into their lives, and the variety and greatness of the services they have rendered, that no mere language of eulogy can be compared in impressiveness with the simplest narrative of their actions. We may dismiss the entire vocabulary of superlatives, and set aside all the terms that are used to describe the qualities of objects, and in the plainest possible language, mention, in order, the posts he has occupied, and the public labors he has performed, and the reader will rise from the bare record with an appreciating sense of his usefulness and greatness, such as no high-flown general panegyric could possibly produce. No American has had the opportunities and privileges he has enjoyed; and no one, it is probable, ever will. He was the child of parents, so great and so good, that it would have been strange, indeed, if his character had not received a deep and permanent impression from their examples and influence. It was his singular privilege to receive the most precious boon of a benignant Providence, in the original constitution and innate ingredients of his mental and spiritual nature - a full measure of the excellent qualities of both his father and his mother. In the strength of his intellect, in the largeness of his political views, and the fervent energy of his impulses, we behold the traits of that character which made John Adams a master-spirit of the American revolution; and whoever reads the letters, or retains in his memory an image of his mother, will trace the influence of that admirable woman in many of the finer features of the mind and spirit of her son. It was his privilege to receive, in his earliest youth, lessons of piety, morality and patriotism from the lips of parents whose lives enforced their precepts, and presented bright and noble examples of the virtues they inculcated. John Quincy Adams was born in Braintree, in Massachusetts, in that part of the town which has since been set off and incorporated by the name of Quincy, on Saturday, July 11th, 1767. He was named "John Quincy," from the following circumstances. His mother was the daughter of Rev. Wm. Smith, pastor of the Congregational church in the neighboring town of Weymouth. The wife of Mr. Smith, the maternal grandmother of the subject of this memoir, was Elizabeth Quincy, daughter of John Quincy, who is mentioned by Hutchinson as the owner of Mount Wollaston, had shared largely in the civil and military distinctions of his time and country, and in honor of him the present town of Quincy received its name. When Quincy was on his death-bed, and expired a few hours after the birth of his great grandchild - at the special request of the grandmother, the name of her father, then lying dead, was given to the new-born infant, who was baptized the next day, in the Congregational church of the Free Parish of Braintree. Mr. Adams has been favored in the period which his life has covered, as well as in the influences under which it commenced. His history runs back to the beginning of the revolution, embraces its trying and stimulating experiences, and includes the entire range of wonderful events which have been accumulated within the last seventy years.

Excerpt from Statesmen IN the preparation of this work the author's aim has been to present a series of character sketches of the eminent persons selected for por traiture. These selections of subjects have been made for the purpose of placing before the pres ent generation of Americans salient points in the careers, of public men, whose attainments in statesmanship were the result of their own indi vidual exertions and force of character rather than of fortunate circumstances. Therefore, these brief studies are not biographies. The au thor had the good fortune of personal acquaint ance with most of the statesmen of the latter part of the period illustrated by his pen; and he considers it an advantage to his readers that they may thus receive from him some of the impres sions which these conspicuous personages made upon the mental vision of those who heard and saw them while they were living examples of nobility of aim and success of achievement in American statesmanship.

Excerpt from English Statesmen The writer of this volume, said the critic, is a young man of unblemished character and of distinguished parliamentary talents the rising hope of those stern and unbending Tories who follow, reluctantly and cautiously, a leader whose ex perience and eloquence are indispensable to them, but whose cautious temper and moderate opinions they abhor. It would not be at all strange, he adds, if Mr. Glad stone were one of the most unpopular men in England.

Excerpt from The American State and American Statesmen As the festivals of the Church are preceded by retreats, in order that humiliation may open the door of joy, so is it wise that patriotic reflection should go before and even go under patriotic jubilees. Has our country been faithful to her origin, her duty, and her destiny? Have we been faithful to our country? That patriotism alone is real which truly tries to ask and answer these questions. He is most a patriot, as he is most a Christian, whose soul kneels in penitence before she soars in exultation. Now, when the full arch of a hundred years spans or soon will span the chief events of our early history as commonly received, and their recent or coming commemoration, it is not the spirit or desire of discord which entreats that some tones of warning may be heard and heeded, before resounds the universal and triumphant music of congratulation. Are we sure that we have reached the very summit of political wisdom in our structure of government? This ground is constantly assumed. Is it rightly assumed? Have we long since passed the point where it was our plain duty to learn; and has it long since become our plain prerogative to teach?

Excerpt from Famous American Statesmen "With the great, one's thoughts and manners easily become great; ... what this country longs for is personalities, grand persons, to counteract its materialities," says Emerson. Such lives as are sketched in this book are a constant inspiration, both to young and old. They teach Garfield's oft-repeated maxim, that "the genius of success is still the genius of labor." They teach patriotism a - deeper love for and devotion to America. They teach that life, with some definite and noble purpose, is worth living. I have written of Abraham Lincoln, one of our greatest and best statesmen, in "Poor Boys Who Became Famous," which will explain its omission from this volume.
