Abstract

A Great Diary
Ford, Worthington C. | May 22, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Diary of John Quincy Adams, 1794-1845," edited by Allan Nevins. The book has never been as well known as it deserved to be. The twelve volumes of the only issue offered a formidable task to the student, an even greater one to the reader, and they have long been out of print and quoted at a price beyond the means of the many. It followed naturally that the "Diary" has been consulted rather than read, and more has been made of its high spots than of its rich historical material.
