It 13 9 well-known fact that Jolin Quincey Adams kept a diary falthfully FoR ANOUT FORTY YEARS, This covered the period of his olticlat life, and was a most clrenmstantial and patnstak- ing chrontete of all that took piace under his immediate notice, ns well as what the writer thought and heard, whtle he was Seeretary of State, just previous to hits election to the Presidency, while he was President and afterwards, while he wits a member of the Natlonal House of Representatives from Mns- sachusetts. Ile carefully chronicled, while he was President, the names of all who ap- plied for oftelal positions, togethor with his esthunte of their respective fitness for. the places sought. Mr. Adams took great palng with this record. It ls re- ported that he usually rose ata very ently hour, and wrote the history of the preceding day before partaking of hls breakfast. It was this diary, in which he took so great pride, that gave Mr. Adams thesgreater part of his reputation asx scholar. ‘The yulue of these forty volumes of minute history will be of as grent value to the future historian and statesinan as that of the famous Samuel Pepys. It is not generally known that Mr, Adams had aimanta for swhumtng, but that Is shown by various references in tha diary. Ie would often swim fer hours together In the Potomac while he Was President. He has many thnes swum across the famous river of a morning, and invariably recorded the fact, together with the. Joy that the exer- else afforded him.
