Author
John Quincy Adams is documented in Fuller’s books (1845). No work is named in the surviving passages, all in Woman in the Nineteenth Century, and the most intensive engagement recorded is “analyzed”.
Reprints, Memoirs passages, and repeat notes within a single manuscript are shown but never counted twice. Evidence for this author is selective, not exhaustive. Methodology →
