John Quincy Adams is one of those men whose history is so marked and signalized by the events that crowd into their lives, and the variety and greatness of the services have rendered, that no mere language of eulogy can be compared in impressive-they ness with the simplest narrative of their actions. We may dismiss the entire vocabu- lary of superlatives, and set aside all the terms that are used to describe the qualities plainest possible language, mention, in order, the postsof objects, and in the he has and the public labors he has performed, and the reader will rise from theoccupied, bare record with an appreciating sense of his usefulness and greatness, such as no high- produce.flown general panegyric could possibly opportunities and privileges he has enjoyed;No American has had the and no one, it is probable, ever will. He was the child of parents, so great and so good, that it would have been strange, indeed, if his character had not received a deep and perma- and influence.
