Excerpt from A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America, Against the Attack of Mr. Turgot in His Letter to Dr. Price, Dated the Twenty-Second Day of March, 1778, Vol. 1 of 3 They who have had an opportunity of knowing his Excellency, Mr. Adams, lay: an European writer, trace in his features the mofl: unequivocal marks of probity and candour.
