Life and Public Services of John Quincy Adams

CHAPTER XV
4/107

Wednesday he pursued his journey to New York, and in the evening lectured before the New York Lyceum, in the Broadway Tabernacle.

Thursday evening he delivered an address before an association in Brooklyn; and on Friday evening delivered a second lecture before the New York Lyceum.

Here were labors which would seriously tax the constitution of vigorous youth; and yet Mr.Adams performed them with much comparative ease.
His great longevity, and his general good health, must be attributed, in no small degree, to his abstemious and temperate habits, early rising, and active exercise.

He took pleasure in athletic amusements, and was exceedingly fond of walking.

During his summer residence in Quincy, he has been known to walk to his son's residence in Boston (seven miles,) before breakfast.
