JOHN QUINCY ADAMS AND THE UNION
VOL II ONLY
by SAMUEL FLAGG BEMIS
THE LIBRARY OF THE PRESIDENTS
The Easton Press, Norwalk, Connecticut, 1987. Very Good leather bound, illustrated. Good cover, clean bright & unmarked interior.
Maroon leather, 22k gold gilt titling on cover & spine, five raised spine bands. All edges 22k gold gilt. Silk endpapers. Satin bookmark bound-in. Printed on archival acid-neutral paper.
The second volume, resting like the first on full and unrestricted access to the Adams Family archives, concludes Professor Bemis's basic biography of John Quincy Adams. It covers the "Second Career" of this remarkable statesman and many-sided personality: his election as sixth president of the United States, his program of Liberty with Power, his defeat by Andrew Jackson, the trials of his private life, his return to a humble seat in the House of Representatives from the Plymouth District of Massachusetts, his seventeen-year struggle there for the Union in the great sectional controversy over slavery, and his dramatic death on the floor of the House while protesting the decoration of generals who had won the War with Mexico.
In this American Study, Samuel Flagg Bemis has combined the canons of historical scholarship with the interest of the novelist and the insight of the psychologist.
