Shouldn't he be Josiah Quincy IV, there's already a Josiah Quincy, Jr.. --Brock Oli (talk) 20:48, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The name he used during his life time was Josiah Quincy, Jr. so that is what was used. He never used the name Josiah Quincy IV. --Wmcewenjr--

Not Impressed by Joseph Smith?

It seems seems a pointedly false conclusion to state Josiah Quincy was not impressed by Joseph Smith, since his most widely quoted statement from his posthumous book Figures of the Past states: "It is by no means improbable that some future textbook, for the use of generations yet unborn, will contain a question something like this: What historical American of the nineteenth century has exerted the most powerful influence upon the destinies of his countrymen? And it is by no means impossible that the answer to that interrogatory may be thus written: Joseph Smith, the Mormon prophet. And the reply, absurd as it doubtless seems to most men now living, may be an obvious commonplace to their descendants." Why is an obscure more disparaging comment included instead of this one? This hardly reads as being "not impressed." At its worst, Josiah shared mixed impressions. 199.188.138.185 (talk) 18:59, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
