Book Description

Excerpt from Remarks and Criticism: On the Hon. John Quincy Adams's Letter to the Hon. Harrison Gray Otis As a great number of gentlemen have expressed a wish to see the remarks and criticisms on the Hon. Mr. Adams's letter republished in the pamphlet form, the following compilation is offered to the publick, taken principally from the New-York Evening Post. It is left to literary men to decide whether the Honourable Senator has not been overrated as a scholar; and to politicians, whether he has not disappointed them as a statesman. If he has been flattered, admired and trusted beyond his merit, it has been his misfortune; and if all is now left that justly belongs to him, he cannot complain.
