He graduated from Harvard in 1763, returning in 1766 to collect a master’s degree and to deliver one of the first English orations, on the subject of patriotism. Speaking in the aftermath of the Stamp Act, Quincy’s speech drew on the writings of the great English Whigs John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon; it suggested the origins of a political philosophy that would guide him for the next decade. Quincy soon took up the law and trained in the Boston office of Oxenbridge
