Description

Uf PREFACE. THE writings of no one of the leaders of the A meri can Revolution form a more complete expression of the causes and justification of that movement than do those of Samuel A dams. None of his contemporaries was so closely identified with the agitation which preceded that crisis; or displayed at that time greater facility as a writer or more unqualified devotion to public affairs. In both the politics and the literature of the American Revolution his writings constitute a distinct and essential element. As a recognized leader in the politics of his native town; as a member and also as clerk of the Massa chusetts House of Representatives; and later as a member of the Continental Congress; he was able to develop and to maintain a strong; and at times con trolling; influence in the affairs of Massachusetts and of the new nation. By an active correspondence; by the preparation of many official documents; and by numberless newspaper articles; he was able to guide and to express the sentiment of the American provinces as they prepared for the struggle which divided the empire.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings; such as: Philosophy; Classics; Science; Religion; History; Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
