Diary of John Quincy Adams, volume 1
1780-09-20
This day I went to Pappa's to day. Got back to the school at eight oclock P.M. Nothing remarkable.
72Reading a Volume of the Tatler I found something worth copying.1
Here follows, on seven and one-half pages of the Diary, the latter part of The Tatler No. 146, originally published on 16 March 1710
(London, 1728, 3:148–152, at MQA). The
portion JQA copied, the dream about Jupiter and the Destinies, begins with the
third paragraph and continues to the conclusion of the number (same, p. 150–152).
