Seventy-seven of the 85 essays that make up the work appeared in New York newspapers between October 1787 and May 1788 under the pseudonym \"Publius.\" The eight additional essays first appeared in the second volume of the work presented here, and in the newspapers later in 1788. Principally written by Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, with some assistance from John Jay, the primary purpose of the essays was to convince the citizens of New York to elect to a state ratifying convention delegates who would favor the new United States Constitution, adopted in Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. The essays were rushed into print in book form in two volumes in the spring of 1788, numbers 1-39 as volume 1 on March 22, and numbers 40-85 as volume 2 on May 28. Together these essays, often referred to as The Federalist Papers, form one of the great classics of government, the principal themes of which are federalism, checks and balances, separated powers, pluralism, and popular representation. In part because Hamilton and Madison were important participants in the Philadelphia convention, The Federalist became the most authoritative interpretation of what the drafters of the Constitution intended, one that continues to influence the development and interpretation of American constitutional law. Presented here is Thomas Jefferson's personal copy of the first edition of The Federalist, with notes in his hand indicating his understanding regarding the authorship of each essay. Hamilton left an authorship list with his lawyer before his fatal duel with Aaron Burr, and Madison identified the writer of each essay in his copy of The Federalist. None of these lists agree, and authorship of some of the essays is still being debated by scholars. The New York convention met in Poughkeepsie in June 1788 and on July 26 voted in favor of ratification by the narrow margin of 30 to 27.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e $10.

He is a great stylist… His wry, amusing, engaging comments, whether on daily life in New England, on literature, science, or government, show an original mind at work.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e142 pages, 13 halftones\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Polaris-Header-Title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume 1 — September 1755 - October 1773 and Volume 2 — December 1773 - April 1775 — Adams Family Correspondence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the publisher:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Volumes one and two of the Papers of John Adams include letters to and from friends and colleagues, reports of committees on which he served, his polemical writings, published and unpublished, and state papers to which he made a contribution. All of Adams’s newspaper writings, including “A Dissertation on the Canon and the Feudal Law,” are in these two volumes. In addition to being a condemnation of the Stamp Act, the “Dissertation” is shown to be one of the building blocks of the theory of a commonwealth of independent states under the king, which reaches complete statement in the Novanglus letters. For the first time, all 13 of these letters appear in full with annotation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The period September 1755-April 1775 covers Adams’s public service in Braintree and Boston town meetings, the Massachusetts House of Representatives, the First Continental Congress, and the First Provincial Congress of Massachusetts. During this time his political future was being shaped by circumstances not always of his choosing. He hesitated at first at the threshold of a public career, political ambition in conflict with concern for his family’s well-being. But as the confrontation with Great Britain sharpened, the crisis became acute; no choice remained. For Adams there was no shirking the path of duty.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Polaris-Header-Title\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume 3 — May 1775 - January 1776 and Volume 4  February - August 1776\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the publisher:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"As the American colonies grew more restive, and a break with the mother country ceased to be unthinkable, John Adams was forced to spend less and less time with his beloved family. Although burdened by ever-expanding responsibilities in the Second Continental Congress, he found time for an amazing amount of correspondence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The majority of his letters were written to secure the facts that would enable this duty-ridden man to decide and act effectively on the issues being debated. Military affairs, a source of never-ending concern, provide some of the most fascinating subjects, including several accounts of the Battle of Bunker Hill, assessments of various high-ranking officers, and complaints about the behavior of the riflemen sent from three states to the southward to aid the Massachusetts troops. The heated question of pay for soldiers and officers early strained relations between New England and southern colonies. By refusing to confront the issue of slavery when it was raised by several correspondents, Adams sought to avoid exacerbating regional sensitivities further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"When the question of independent governments for former colonies arose, at the request of several colleagues Adams sketched a model: Thoughts on Government, three versions of which are included here. His optimistic republicanism, however, was balanced by fear that a “Spirit of Commerce” would undermine the virtue requisite for republican institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Adams’s important committee work included his draft in 1775 of rules for regulation of the Continental Navy, which have remained the basis for the governance of the United States Navy down into our time, and his plan of treaties, which would guide American diplomatists up to World War II. Both were derivative, but he skillfully adapted his materials to American needs and circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"These volumes reflect the spirit of those tumultuous years when the leaders emerging in America confronted each other, and exciting new ideas, as they tried to resolve the issues of a revolutionary period.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Polaris-Header-Title\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e $15 when purchased individually. $30 when purchased together.

Each contains large scale town plans marked with strategic locations, a book of photographs and a quarter-inch map of the area, each folder titled “Militärgeographische Einzelangaben über England” (Maps of England showing features of military significance) and “Militärgeographische Objektkarten mit Objektbildern” (Maps of military installations with photographs.” Also there are three thick A5 sized folders containing books and maps: Folder A : England and Wales, on a regional basis with numerous photographs and maps; Folder B : London, photographs and maps; and Folder C : Books of coastal photographs to help with selecting invasion beaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Polaris-Header-Title\"\u003e\"In addition, there is material on the planned invasion of Ireland - Operation Green (Unternehmen Grün). There are 144 six-inch town maps marked with strategic locations, and almost 1500 black and white photographs. The maps are copies of Ordnance Survey maps, with overprints highlighting sites which the Germans would have considered targets in any invasion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Polaris-Header-Title\"\u003e\"Most maps and books are headed: “Nur für den Dienstgebrauch!” (For Official use only.) The maps were arranged in groups, based on the Ordnance Survey Quarter-inch Fourth Edition sheet lines. Thus, each numbered folder has a quarter-inch map of the area, a book of photographs and large scale plans of significant towns. The quarter-inch (1:250,000) maps use an extensive list of purple symbols for industrial sites (e.g. chemicals, waterworks, textiles, electricity) and red symbols for strategic sites (e.g. hospitals, airfields, radio stations, barracks). The large scale plans are usually 1:10,000 scale (metric six-inch), and again are an Ordnance Survey base map with coloured symbols showing sites of military significance such as airports, railway workshops, docks, bridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Polaris-Header-Title\"\u003e\"Such sites are often illustrated in the book of photographs, the captions of which give a map location for each site, and each mapped site gives the book illustration number. The town maps are printed in brown (rather than black), with blue water. The various coloured symbols stand out clearly, are easily seen and are quite striking. The delicate black bridge symbols are especially noticeable and numerous, as are the red boundaries of railway stations and goods yards. Basically, for each town these maps show all locations that the Germans thought to be strategically important. All folders were issued in 1940, 1941 or 1942. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Polaris-Header-Title\"\u003e(Text from David Archer's excellent description of the collection, modified).\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranslation of text from the Folder's jacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents:\u003cbr\u003e(Changes from the 1st or 2nd edition are noted in brackets)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eText booklet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGazetteer \/ directory of localities\u003cbr\u003e(formerly in the text booklet, now printed as a separate booklet; newly revised and expanded)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePicture booklet: England as a whole\u003cbr\u003e(typical landscape views)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral map of Great Britain and Ireland, 1:1,000,000, with sheet index for the special map 1:100,000\u003cbr\u003e(new physical overview map)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMilitary-geographic operations map of England, 1:500,000, southern sheet\u003cbr\u003e(Southern and Central England)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap: Great Britain and Ireland, railway network, 1:1,000,000, with station directory on the reverse of the map, serving at the same time as a locality index map\u003cbr\u003e(newly revised using documents from Chief Tromp)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBooklet: Station directory for no. 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap: Great Britain, long-distance roads, 1:1,000,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap: Great Britain, overview of bodies of water, 1:1,000,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap: Great Britain, long-distance telephone and telegraph network, 1:1,000,000\u003cbr\u003e(telephone network on front; radio stations on reverse)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap: Electricity supply of England and Scotland, 1:1,000,000, with directory of major works and their capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap: England, population distribution, 1:1,000,000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBooklet: City passage \/ through-route plans\u003cbr\u003e(improved and expanded)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso published:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolder B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMilitary-geographic information on England, London\u003cbr\u003e(text with pictures, traffic plan 1:50,000, and city plan 1:20,000, 4 sheets, with military-geographic object entries)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFolder C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoastal descriptions\u003cbr\u003e(text and picture booklets with map appendices)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSouth coast, with 1st and 2nd supplements, completed 15 Aug. 1940\u003cbr\u003eSouth coast, 3rd supplement, aerial photographs, completed 20 May 1941\u003cbr\u003eEast coast, southern part, completed 30 Aug. 1940\u003cbr\u003eEast coast, northern part, completed 15 Oct. 1940\u003cbr\u003eWest coast, southern part, completed 27 Dec. 1940\u003cbr\u003eWest coast, northern part, completed 28 Feb. 1941\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMilitary-geographic object maps, 1:250,000, of England, 11 sheets, and related plans of the most important urban areas with military-geographic individual entries at a scale of 1:10,000.
