Book Details
Table of Contents
A legacy more valuable than gold or silver
A great deal of room for me to grow better
Some compensation for me not being with my friends at Braintree
A journal
Almost at the world's end
Promise to produce a worthy character
A son who is the greatest traveller of his age
And of a sister who fulfills my most sanguine expectations
To have a degree at Harvard
Your ever affectionate brother
Your ever affectionate brother
Study is my mistress
While a student in the office of Theophilus Parsons Newburyport
Exposed to the perils of sentiment
I am on the bridge between wisdom and folly
And I, too, am a scribbler
The times change and we change with them
The magnitude of the trust and my own incompetency
The usual mixture between sweet and bitter
The age of innocence and thoughtlessness
Prudence is a sorry matchmaker
Oh my Louisa!
For the friend of your life
Wise and in the best interests of the country
To turn weariness itself into pleasure
A painful retrospective
With no small difficulty
Another feather against a whirlwind
Like a fish out of water
Apostasy
In honorable diplomatic exile.
