@JQAdams_MHS, 7/20/1834: "a Diary ... kept without intermission, should be the rule of duty of every man who can read and write." But it "requires a character to which toil is a pleasure, and of which untiring Patience is an essential Element." https://t.co/6iry1FppMh

Today in 1798 confrontation between Reps. Roger Griswold & Matthew Lyon included Griswold calling Lyon a coward; Lyon spit tobacco juice in Griwold's eye. When the House didn't expel Lyon, Griswold attacked him on the House floor (PC: 1798 etching, Collection of US House). #OTD

This 1799 broadside of John Adams (born on this day in 1735) is a rare example of the 2nd president being celebrated akin to his monument-inspiring presidential predecessor Washington and successor Jefferson. Adams did not seek popularity & protested the cult of celebrity.

[Gwen Fries @GwenFries]

"[George] was very good according to his promise made before he came—he told me his Mother tried to make a good Boy of him, but She could not. He always tells all he knows against himself."

Abigail reporting to @JQAdams_MHS on his children is my favorite genre of Adams letter.

#OTD in 1829 @JQAdams_MHS wrote in his Diary after unpacking his books: "My Library is l’embarras des Richesses" and that "love of Literature...is a costly passion; but pays its own way, with ten fold, and hundred fold increase." https://t.co/DfzYKSERtj
