Light Usage, Gilt Brilliant, But Marks On Front End Papers, Along With Personal Information Dated 1914 At Haverford, Of Charles Shoemaker Taylor, Son Of Joseph W. Taylor, The Quaker Founder Of Bryn Mawr College. Brooks Was Son Of Charles Francis Adams, Us Congressman And Ambassador To Great Britain, Grandson Of President John Quincy Adams And Also Of Peter Chardon Brooks, The Wealthiest Man In Massachusetts At The Time Of His Death, Great-Grandson Of President John Adams, And Spouse Of The Daughter Of An Admiral, Whose Sister Anna Married America's Most Prominent And Influential Us Senator, Henry Cabot Lodge, And Whose Sister Louisa Married The Son Of Stephen Luce, Admiral And Founder Of The Us War College. Brooks Wrote A Book "Railways As Public Agents", 1910, About The Historical Significance Of The Us Railroads; His Brother Charles Francis Adams Jr. Was President Of The Union Pacific. His Brother J. Q. Adams Ii Married A Member Of The Crowninshield Political Dynasty, Who Had A Son Charles Francis Adams Ii Who Was Secretary Of The Navy And Whose Daughter Catherine Lovering Adams Married Henry Sturgis Morgan, Co-Founder Of Morgan Stanley, The Son Of America's Most Prominent Financier, Junius Pierpont Morgan, And Father Admiral Henry Sturgis Morgan Who Was A Brother-In-Law Of The Late Us Senator And Presidential Candidate John Mccain. Brooks Wrote Another Book On The Gold Standard, 1894, And Yet Another On America's Economic Supremacy, 1900, And The New Empire, 1902. To Begin With. History Written From A Seemingly Endless And Un-Self-Aware Conservative-Aristocratic Political Genealogy. He Also Wrote "Theory Of Social Revolutions", 1913, And That Same Year, An Article In The Atlantic "The Collapse Of Capitalistic Government". He Is Unmatched In The Sophistication Of His Understanding Of The Actual Historical Workings Of The Us Government To 1913 [And Reads As Still Up-To-Date); But He Betrays No Explicit Consciousness That It Is The Misuse Of Political Power In Favor Of A Narrow Elite Which Constitutes The Basic Problem Of Government. He Rightfully Focuses On The Sheer Incompetence, Illogic, Irrationality And Outright Moral Stupidity Of The Individuals Who Govern The Country In All Three Of Its Branches. His Outlook Is So Depressing That It Is Impossible To Expect Any Mainstream Media To Continue To Publish Or Even Report On It. Hundreds Of Thousands Have Dutifully Read About His Place In The Adams Family Genealogy But Almost None Have Actually Read His Works.
