The diary of John Quincy Adams is one of the most
extraordinary works in American literature. Begun in
when Adams was twelve years old,, and kept
more or less faithfully until his death almost seventy
years later, it is an unrivaled record of historical events
and personalities from the nation’s founding to the
antebellum era. It is also a masterpiece of American
prose, tracing the spiritual, literary, and scientific
interests of an exceptionally lively mind. Now, for
the 350th anniversary of Adams’s hirth, Library of
America and historian David Waldstreicher present a
two-volume reader’s edition based for the first time on
the original manuscripts, restoring personal and
revealing passages suppressed in earlier editions.
As this second volume opens Adams, as secretary of
state, is the leading figure in James Monroe’s cabinet,
a fractious group whose members jockey to be the
next president. This political intrigue, described with
gripping immediacy in the diary, culminates in
Adams’s election to the presidency by the House of
Representatives after a deadlocked four-way contest.
Even as Adams takes the oath of office, rivals Henry
Clay, his secretary of state, John C. Calhoun, his vice
president, and an embittered Andrew Jackson eye the
next election in 1838. The diary records Adams’s
frustration as his far-sighted agenda for national
unification and internal improvement is threatened by
this internecine political factionalism, as well as his
revulsion at the advent of the ^unprincipled absurdi-
ties” of Jacksonian democracy: iClVly hopes of the long
continuance of this Union are extinct --- The people
nmst go the way of all the vvorld.”
After a short-lived post-presidential retirement,
during which he and his wife Louisa Catherine
endure the apparent suicide of their eldest son,
Adams returns to public service as a congressman
from Massachusetts, without «question the most
extraordinary second act in American political history.
In his final seventeen years, Adams leads efforts to
resist the extension of slavery and to end the notorious
¿ígag rule” that stifles debate on the issue in Congress,
earning the sobriquet Old JVlan Eloquent. In 1841,
he further burnishes his anti si a very reputation by
successfully defending the African mutineers of the
slave ship A m istir d before the Supreme Court, a
dramatic manifestation of his lifelong commitment to
liberty and the rule of law. The edition concludes with
Adams’s final entry, recorded on February 20, 184-8,
the day before he suffered a fatal stroke at his con֊
gressional desk.
Throughout, the diary brims with brilliant, sometimes
acerbic portraits of an astonishing range of American
statesmen, from Thomas Jefferson and James JVlacLison
to Stephen A. Douglas and Andrew Johnson. A com֊
panion Library of America volume presents diary
selections from 1779 to 1821.
