The annotated "John Quincy Adams – A Bibliography," compiled by Lynn H. Parsons (Westport, CT, 1993, p. 41, entry #194), contains "Unsigned essays dealing with the Russo-Turkish War and on Greece," published in The American Annual Register for 1827-28-29 (NY: 1830)"Unsigned" essays would explain the lack of formal attribution if the Parson's claim can be confirmed. I found a used copy on Amazon, ordered it, and will try to report back here when able. If confirmed I could post either the four page first part or the entire 18 page chapter as a pdf - if I can refigure out how. My old ways of posting files online to link for FR no longer seem to work. Or I could try to just paste the text here, if I can get OCR to work better. With my current OCR results that would be difficult. But it would be nice, if this is genuine JQ Adams, to have the full text available online. With 1830 original publication there shouldn't be copyright concerns and I presume FR could handle the four page or even the eighteen page, post of paragraphed text.
That is a very interesting thing you did, I look forward to hearing from you as to if you have better results with the printed copy.

Chapter X, pp. 267-285. Quote begins on pg. 269. The OCR appears to be perfect and searchable.
In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition ofthe female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.[snip]
