Very Singular Coincidences, p. 4

-It is a singular, but not less true remark in a late work, that Jefferson was born just eight years after his predecessor Adams Madison eight years after Jefferson; Monroe eight years after Madison; and John Quincy Adams eight years after Monroe. Another curious fact to observe, is, that Adams was just sixty-six; Madison was sixty-six; Monroe was sixty-six; and John Quincy Adams, had been elected to a second term, would have been sixty-six. Adams, Jefferson, and Monroe, all died on the 4th of July.
