John Abbott

I need a bit of clarification — there are several notable people named John Abbott. Here are a few possibilities; do any match the one you meant?

  • Sir John Joseph Caldwell Abbott (1821–1893), Canadian lawyer, politician, and third Prime Minister of Canada.

  • John Abbott (actor) (1905–1996), English stage and film actor.

  • John Abbott (Newfoundland politician) (born 1956), Canadian provincial politician.

  • John Stevens Cabot Abbott (1805–1877), American historian, pastor, and writer (note the middle name makes him distinct, “John S. C. Abbott”).

If you tell me which John Abbott (country, time period, or occupation) you meant, I’ll write a full article for that one.

John Abbott

I hate politics and what are considered their appropriate measures. I hate notoriety, public meetings, public speeches, caucuses and everything that I know of which is apparently the necessary incident of politics - except doing public work to the best of my ability.
