About this book

Fifty years after George Washington took the oath of office on the balcony of New York's city hall, John Quincy Adams delivered this oration before the New York Historical Society on 30 April 1839. He opens by imagining that on the night before the oath Washington's guardian angel appeared in the form of his mother and gave him a suit of armour with the Constitution as its shield. Adams then turns to the thirteen colonies, their varied settlers, and the war that left Britain master of the continent. Adams had been the sixth President.
