Synopsis
"The Federalist was the first noteworthy treatise on federal government...a dignifeid and worthy commentary upon the creation of the greatest federal constitution that the world has yet seen, that of the United States." It consists of 85 articles contributed anonymously to New York Journals from the autumn of 1787 to the spring of 1788; their purpose was to persuade the people of New York to ratify the Consitution which had just been drawn up by the convention. The author of each essay is here named at the head; Jay was responsible for only five of the earliest, Hamilton and Madison for the rest.

Review
History Book Club Review"
The William and Mary Quarterly"
The present edition . . . is the most complete and accurate that has yet appeared . . . Everyone who is interested in either the principles or the practice of government in the age of the Fathers or in our own era of perplexity should read it in part at least. Dumas Malone, History Book Club Review"
Cooke studied the text of the complete Federalist, and happily for scholars, he determined to print this separate edition embodying his discoveries. He ends at last our previous ignorance in two important areas: first, in recording the printing history of the individual essays in the four New York papers where they originally appeared; second, in reporting all the changes the Publius (Hamilton and Madison) made (or sanctioned) in the primary newspaper text when it was reissued in book form in 1788, 1802 and 1817. Cooke s edition, thus, is the first definitive, variorum edition of the text of this much reprinted classic. Douglas Adair, The William and Mary Quarterly"
