PREFACE. 
 
 In 1822, John Adams, then in his eighty-seventh 
 year, presented the Town of Quincy, Massachusetts, 
 with (to use the wording of the deed) : "the frag- 
 rnents of my Library, which still remain in my pos- 
 session, excepting a few that I shall reserve for my 
 consolation in the few days that remain to me." 
 Upon this gift he imposed several conditions, the 
 first being that a catalogue of the books be made 
 and printed. This catalogue was prepared and 
 issued under the title: "Deeds and other documents 
 relating to the several pieces of land, and to the Li- 
 brary presented to the town of Quincy by President 
 Adams, together with a catalogue of the books" 
 (Cambridge, 1823). As a present means of refer- 
 ence this catalogue is wholly useless, since the 
 titles are arranged neither alphabetically under the 
 author's names nor under the subject of which they 
 treat, but according to the languages in which the 
 books are printed, and to some extent according 
 to the sizes of volumes. 
 
 Another condition of deed was that "none of the 
 books shall ever be sold, exchanged or lent, or suf- 
 fered to be removed from the apartment, without a 
 solemn vote of a majority of the superintendents." 
 Unfortunately this condition has not been complied 
 with, for a comparison of this first catalogue with 
 the present will show that some volumes are mis- 
 sing. One loss in particular, Thomas Morton's 
 New English Canaan, is a severe one. For this 
 rare volume there has been substituted a copy of 
 the late Charles Francis Adams, Jr.'s edition of 
 Morton's book made for the Prince Society. 
 Besides the books lost or stolen, many have 
 
 [v] 
 
THE ADAMS LIBRARY 
 
 been mutilated, in part by hard usage from frequent 
 removals, rot, and lack of proper care, but mostly 
 at the hands of autograph collectors, who, in many 
 cases, have not hesitated to cut or tear the top or 
 even the middle of title-pages. 
 
 It was the wish of John Adams that the Library 
 should be placed in "an apartment of the building 
 to be hereafter erected for a Greek or Latin School 
 or Academy," and a provision for this academy was 
 made in another deed. After a number of trans- 
 fers from one place to another, this Library was 
 placed, in 1882, in the Thomas Crane Public Li- 
 brary of Quincy. In 1883 an orderly arrangement 
 and suitable card catalogue were begun under the 
 direction of the late Charles Francis Adams, Jr., 
 and finished in October, 1884. 
 
 The Library remained in the custody of the 
 Thomas Crane Library for nearly ten years, but 
 was practically unused for it was of a character little 
 calculated to interest readers in a small community. 
 Recognizing that works of this sort could only be 
 made serviceable when used in connection with the 
 resources of a large assemblage of literature, invit- 
 ing to scholars and students, the Supervisors of the 
 Adams Temple and School Fund of Quincy voted, 
 November 29, 1893, to transfer the Adams Collec- 
 tion to the Boston Public Library. On December 
 6, 1893, the Trustees of the Boston Public Library 
 voted to accept this transfer. The collection now 
 stands in the annex to the Children's Room. It 
 has been catalogued in accordance with the system 
 in use in the general library, and the cards have 
 been incorporated into the PubHc and Official C3,ta- 
 logues. Since it is now a working part of the 
 Boston Public Library and since its contents 
 are made available through the general catalogue.

 it has not seemed necessary in the construction of 
 the present catalogue to do mere than to give the 
 titles under the author's names. 
 
 The value of the Library of John Adams is in part 
 a sentimental one. He was one of the United 
 States Commissioners to France, and Minister to 
 Holland, during the American Revolution, and 
 while in Paris and at The Hague collected many 
 of the volumes of which he made use in writing 
 his "Defence of the Constitutions of Government 
 of the United States." Years later he was the 
 second President of the nation. From the time 
 when he was a student in Harvard College until 
 the day of his death on the fiftieth anniversary of 
 the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1826, he 
 drew books about him. As a result his Library 
 is an admirable specimen of the intellectual tastes 
 of an American gentleman of the Eighteenth 
 Century. Not only does it contain many of the 
 Greek, Latin, French and English classics, but 
 a considerable number of works on law, commerce, 
 and agriculture. The books, however, on the con- 
 stitutional and political history of various countries, 
 among them a number of histories of the Italian 
 republics, give a special significance to the collec- 
 tion. With the exception of the Library of Col. 
 William Byrd of Virginia, which contained 3438 
 volumes, it is possibly the largest private collection 
 of books of its day made in this country. 
 
 Among other valuable and interesting works may 
 be especially designated Henri Estienne's edition of 
 Plato's Works in three folio volumes (Paris, 1578) 
 enriched by the autographs of John and John 
 Quincy Adams; Winslow's Good news from New 
 England (1624) ; John Marshall's Life of Washing- 
 ton, each of the five volumes containing an auto- 
 
 [vii] 
 
THE ADAMS LIBRARY 
 
 graph presentation from the author to John Adams ; 
 and Joseph Warren's Massacre oration of 1772, an 
 autographed presentation copy. 
 
 Three of the volumes once belonged to the Rev. 
 Thomas Prince, and two of them contain the book- 
 plate of the Old South Library. In the Boston 
 Patriot of October 23, 181 1, .John Adams wrote: 
 "I mounted up to the balcony of Dr. Sewall's 
 church, where was assembled a collection which Mr. 
 Prince had devoted himself to make from the twen- 
 tieth year of his age . . . Such a treasure never 
 existed anywhere else, and can never again be 
 made." It seems probable that in one or more of 
 his visits to this balcony Mr. Adams borrowed these 
 volumes and failed to return them. 
 
 Among the numerous autographs are those of 
 James Otis, Elbridge Gerry, T. Brand Hollis, Dr. 
 Benjamin Rush; as well as manuscript notes by 
 Thomas Prince in Oldmixon's British Empire in 
 America, and Winslow's Good news from New Eng- 
 land, and numerous annotations by John Adams 
 in Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin's French Revolu- 
 tion, Davila's Histoire des guerres civiles, and Rous- 
 seau's Discourse upon ineqixality. 
 
 Many volumes contain the book-plates of John 
 Adams, John Quincy Adams, and Charles Francis 
 Adams, the Elder. These book-plates of the son 
 and grandson of John Adams are evidence that 
 they, and doubtless later members of the Adams 
 family, added to the collection as it originally stood 
 in 1823. At that time the number of volumes was 
 2756. In 1883, the number was 2804, and at present 
 in 1917, the total enumeration is 3019. 
 
 This catalogue has been edited and put through 
 the press, and the preface written, by Lindsay 
 Swift, Editor of Publications.
