From the painting by Sir Amedee Forestier, 1914, in possession of the National Art Gallery, Washington, D.C., now hanging on loan in the office of the Secretary of State. This biography of John Quincy Adams to the Presidency emphasizes his formative influence on American foreign policy. It is a work of commanding interest and basic importance on which Professor Bemis has been working for many years. He has shown with much enlightening and enlivening detail how John Quincy Adams more than any other man shaped the foundations of American foreign policy.

Bemis joined the faculty at George Washington University in 1924, remaining there a decade, and accepted the history department's chairmanship in 1925. He left George Washington University in 1934, first serving as lecturer at Harvard University for the 1934-1935 academic year while James Phinney Baxter III was on research leave.
