Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Correspondence of Miss. Adams, Vol. 2: Daughter of John Adams, Second President of the United States
There is in the Baltimore Federal Gazette, an obituary article, written, I have no doubt, by Mr. Colman, in which, as far as justice can be done to human virtue, he has performed it to the character of our incomparable mother, but language cannot do justice to that excellence which, in its highest forms, consisted in action. The words of our mother were all kindness, but her actions were all beneficence. Of her it might be said, without irreverence, that she went about doing good.' All panegyric upon her will fall short of the truth.
