Description: Written by the grandson of American president John Quincy Adams, this autobiography is a record of the struggle in his later years to come to terms with vast changes which were taking place in the early 20th century, and so very different from his youth. It is more his introspection than a record of his deeds. His reflections on the failing of 19th century educational systems to properly prepare him, an elite member of the American aristocracy, led him to conclude that self education was key to adapting to rapid changes. This book is in Fine condition with a Fine slipcase. It also includes the original summary brochure from the Heritage Club and included with the book.
