ADAMS (John). A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America. London: Printed for C. Dilly, in The Poultry. M. DCC. LXXXVII * ** 3 vols. 8vo. This so called "defence" of American State Constitutions was in truth a plea for Constitutional limitations and clogs on populer government, and was so undemocratic in its whole tone as later to be a most effective political argument against the author in the campaigns of 1796 and 1800.

Washington: Printed by Davis & Force, (Franklin's Head) Pennsylvania Avenue. 1822. 8vo. pp. 256. * ** The negotiation at Ghent, which terminated the War of 1812, ranks among the most interesting episodes of American diplomacy. Especially difficult was the position of Adams, for the New-England attitude towards the war had been so cold as to savor of actual disloyalty. In consequence, the American commissioners, as a whole, were not over anxious to save to that locality the fisheries; and to Mr. Adams were practically due the fishery clauses finally inserted in the treaty. His efforts for that purpose are set forth in full in these letters. The whole story is brilliantly told in the third volume of Mr. Henry Adams' History of the Administration of James Madison; but these original letters are still interesting, as much because of the individuality of the writer, as because of the constant reappearance of the main question in our diplomacy. to his son, on the 16mo. pp. 128. 1800 et 1801, durant Divisées en deux Paris: M.

Yet even so modest a poet could hardly have dreamed that one day his poem, which sold a hundred thousand copies in three months, would be chiefly known by the fictitious account of its writing, purporting to be narrated by one Lieut.-Colonel Esmond, though penned by Thackeray.
