Adams scribbled profusely, if not extraordinarily legibly, and upon graduation from Harvard in 1755 he apparently abandoned the folio-sized diary he had begun in favor of less widely notebooks.

Bound in hard white linen, bordered with a tasteful gold line, and bearing about as much resemblance to the G.O.P.'s run-of-the-mill convention program as an expensive Shakespeare folio does to the program for the Slippery Rock-East Stroudsburg football game, it will be available for purchase when the Democrats convene in Atlantic City...
