Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Quincy: Master of Mount Wollaston; Provincial Statesman; Colonel of the Suffolk Regiment; Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives; Member of His Majesty´s Council The address printed in the following pages was delivered at a celebration held in honor of John Quincy in the house of worship of First Church, Quincy, Mass., February 23, 1908. Owing to its length, a part of it only was then made use of. While this service, the first formal recognition of the eminently useful career, both public and private, of John Quincy, was held in view, it was contemplated to perpetuate his memory still further by some suitable publication. Thus the address naturally developed into what closely resembles a memoir, in the preparation of which I have had the pleasure of being practically a collaborator with Charles F. Adams, second of the name. Indeed, such rescue from oblivion of one who, in his day, "was as much esteemed as any man in the province," is another of the things done by Mr. Adams to honor his fathers and perpetuate in memory what is both veracious and noble in the traditions of Old Braintree and Quincy. A large, if not the larger, part of what is here set down is distinctly from his pen. In Larned´s "Literature of American History" it is stated that "no more trustworthy delineation of a New England town has ever been written than that to be found in the ´Three Episodes of Massachusetts History."´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
