Case Of Hereditary Bias PDF Download

Excerpt from A Case of Hereditary Bias: Henry Adams as a Historian; Some Strictures on the "History of the United States of America" It is not my purpose in this communication formally to criticise Mr. Adams's performance. There is ample material, ready to thel hand of any one who has the leisure to traverse his four volumes, to show how far short it comes of being a thorough and truthful history of the period it covers. Let it suffice here to exhibit some of its misrepresentations and injustice. There is an undercurrent throughout of detraction, that carries with it the fame of contem porary public men who incurred the enmity of John and John Quincy Adams.
