It has the shape and size of a St. Michael's pear, and became petrified apparently as it fell from the tree, without decaying. It is split in two, and the core is Of a separate and different induration from that of the pulp. It is flattened on the side upon which it lay on the ground, and bears a faint impression of a leaf, upon which it must have lain. I asked him if other petrifactions were common at or near the place where this was found; but he did not know.

Excerpt from Memoirs of John Quincy Adams, Vol. 5: Comprising Portions of His Diary From 1795 to 1848 I told Calhoun I could not see things in the same light. It is, in truth, all perverted sentiment - mistaking labor for slavery, and dominion for freedom. The discussion of this Missouri question has betrayed the secret of their souls. In the abstract they admit that slavery IS an evil, they disclaim all participation in the introduction of it, and cast it all upon the shoulders of our old Grandam Britain. But when probed to the quick upon it, they show at the bottom of their souls pride and vainglory in their condition of masterdom. They fancy themselves more generous and noble-hearted than the plain freemen who labor for subsistence. They look down upon the simplicity of a1820] 7'l OF state.

Excerpt from Memoirs of John Quincy Adams, Vol. 6: Comprising Portions of His Diary From 1795 to 1848 Crawford to secure Parker in his interest is easily accounted for. He knows that great use may be made of him against both the President and Calhoun. Parker is deeply exasperated at the treatment he has received, and says he has been so long out of all business other than the public service, that he knows not what will become of him. But he manifests no passion; and he kept me during almost the whole of this day telling me, with an air and tone of indifference, what he knew, and intimating what he further could tell. He said he had had a very long interview with the President, in which he had ap peared to be excessively sore upon an attack on him in the New York Philosophical and Literary Repository in an anony mous paper written by Armstrong. Parker asked me if I had seen it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Memoirs of John Quincy Adams, Vol. 4: Comprising Portions of His Diary From 1795 to 1848 New York, August 6th, 1817. - Immediately after daylight this morning the ship was within three miles of the highlands of Neversink, and the new Sandy Hook light-house in full sight, as well as the two old ones; all the lights were still burning. The morning was line, and almost all the passengers soon came upon deck. The sun rose clear, and Venus was visible more than a quarter of an hour after she had risen; air and water both at 67. There were a number of vessels in sight, and among the rest a pilot-boat schooner, from which a pilot, named Bird, came on board at six. We had a fair and light breeze, which took us up to the wharf at New York, where we landed at one in the afternoon, immediately from the ship. The approach to New York was slow, and the termination of the voyage as agreeable as could be wished. The sentiments with which, after an absence of eight full and eventful years, I touched once more my native land were of a mingled nature: of the deepest gratitude to the Supreme Disposer for all the enjoyments and preservations of that long period, and particularly for the safe and happy close of the voyage just completed, together with an anxious forecast of the cares and perils of the new scene upon which I am about to enter. The latter of these feelings was greater and more oppressive than it had ever been on returning to my country heretofore.
