Pàgina 654 - I dined again at the table d'hote at one. The other gentlemen dined together at four. They sit after dinner, and drink bad wine and smoke cigars, which neither suits my habits nor my health, and absorbs time which I can ill spare.
Pàgina 402 - I had not to that day received any official communication of its declaration ; but that I well knew it was with reluctance they had engaged in the war ; that I was very sure whatever determination they might form upon the proposal of the emperor's mediation they would receive and consider it as a new evidence of his majesty's regard and friendship for the United States, and that I was not aware of any obstacle or difficulty which could occasion them to decline accepting it.

Pàgina 283 - Our union has not been without its trials, nor invariably without dissensions between us. There are many differences of sentiment, of tastes, and of opinions, in regard to domestic economy, and to the education of children, between us.

But she has always been a faithful and affectionate wife, and a careful, tender, indulgent, and watchful mother to our children, all of whom she nursed...
Pàgina 50 - The formalities of these court presentations are so trifling and insignificant in themselves, and so important in the eyes of princes and courtiers, that they are much more embarrassing to an American than business of real importance. It is not safe or prudent to despise them, nor practicable for a person of rational understanding to value them.
Pàgina 173 - I have made it a practice for several years to read the Bible through in the course of every year. I usually devote to this reading the first hour after I rise every morning.
Pàgina 400 - Adams wrote in his diary that she wanted to know "how she could continue to receive her interest in England while there is war between the United States and Great Britain.
