Quincy Adams than his contemporaries were and It IS

as secretary of the treasury became a f%inancier Of
high attainment as finance was understood in that day.
Lincoln subsequently made him chief justice Of the
supreme court, and in that capacity he presided at the
impeachment trial Of President Andrew johnson.
After that he was mentioned for the Democratic nom
