 Constitution. 
 
 In the following list of editions, I have only attempted to include such as 
 were published during the discussion of the Constitution, prior to its ratifica- 
 tion, and so conscious am I of its imperfections, that I should omit it altogether, 
 were it not that no such list has ever been attempted, and this may make the 
 task an easier one to some future bibliographer. It is almost certain that the 
 Federal Convention, the Continental Congress, and each of the states printed 
 public official editions, (of which, excepting Massachusetts, New York, and pos- 
 sibly Pennsylvania, I have been unable to trace copies) while the editions 
 printed for the use of the people were undoubtedly numerous. The list includes

 every edition that I could find, in any bibliographies or library catalogues that 
 I have examined, except the " Portsmoutli, N. 11. 1787" given in the Library 
 of Congress catalogue, which cannot now be found. 1 have also included the 
 two drafts (Nos. 19 and 20) used by the Convention, which, though not prop- 
 erly editions of the Constitution, nevertheless seemed best classed among 
 them. The arrangement is alphabetical, by the first word of the title or caption 
 participles excepted.

 The "Report" of the "Committee of five," of the Federal Convention, 
 brought in August 6th, 1787. Printed only for the use of the members, as a 
 basis for a continuation of the discussion. Both these last two editions, it is 
 needless to say, are of the greatest rarity, the number printed being probably 
 not over sixty copies, and as confidential documents, were saved by few of the 
 members. The Department of State possesses Washington's copy of No. 19. 
 and David Brearly's and James Madison's copies of both drafts. The Library 
 of Congress possesses William Samuel Johnson's copies, and the Massa- 
 chusetts Historical Society has those of Elbridge Gerry. All of these contain 
 Mss. alterations by their respective owners, and George Mason's copy of No. 
 19 in the possession of Miss Kate Mason Rowland of Virginia, contains not 
 only alterations, but the objections of Mason to the Constitution, in his own 
 handwriting. What are apparently the original Mss. compilations from which 
 these drafts were printed are in the Wilson Papers, now in the Pennsylvania 
 Historical Society.

 Elliot's Debates (especially this edition), in spite of its imperfections, is the 
 great store house of American constitutional history. It is almost impossible 
 to exaggerate its importance, and though Nos. 92 and 99 have rendered the por- 
 tion relating to Massachusetts and Pennsylvania of little value, the remaining 
 contents are only to be found in contemporary publications of greater or lesser 
 rarity. 
 
 In 1858 the plates passed into the hands of J. B. Lippincott & Co., who have 
 printed several issues, with change of date only.

 " The Federalist, as he terms himself, or Publius, puts me in mind of some 
 of the gentlemen of the long robe when hard pressed, in a bad cause, with a 
 rich client. They frequently say a good deal, which does not apply; but yet if 
 it will not convince the judge and jury, may perhaps, help to make them forget 
 some part of the evidence — embarass their opponents, and make the audience 
 stare." N. Y. Journal, Feb. 14, 178S.

 Of the first edition of The Federalist a few copies remain unsold, which passed 
 into the hands of John Tiebout, who reissued it with new titles only. 
 
 " It is said that in the year 1799, ^ ^^'^ edition of The Federalist, the fifth in 
 book-form, was published by John Tiebout . . . The most diligent search has 
 been made lor a copy of that edition, but without finding it or obtaining any 
 other information concerning it. It is not in any of the principal public libraries, 
 nor, so far as can be learned, is a copy of it in any private library in this part of 
 the country. The newspapers of that period — both Foederal and Republican — 
 have been carefully examined, with the hope of finding the Proposals for its 
 publication; personal enquiries have been made of Mr. Tiebout's sons, and of 
 several of the older inhabitants of the city; and those whose intimate knowledge 
 of books entitles them to the respect of every student have been applied to on 
 the suject; yet no trace whatever, beyond the single allusion above referred to, 
 has been obtained from any quarter concerning this or any other edition of The 
 Federalist from the press of John Tiebout." Mr. Dawson's Introduction to The 
 Federalist, l.wii 
 
 " Mr. Dawson, after the most exhaustive research, failed to find a copy, and 
 only heard of one, or what appeared to be one, in the collection of Mr. Force, 
 while his own volume was passing through the press, and he was therefore 
 compelled to leave the existence of such an edition largely a matter of conjec- 
 ture. This gap is now filled. There is a copy of this edition, probably unique, 
 for the Force copy has disappeared, in the Long Island Historical Society."

 This copy mentioned by Mr. Lodge is however, imperfect, there being but 
 one volume.

 Mr. Dawson hazards the guess that this edition was edited by William Cole- 
 man, but by Mr. Hopkins statement, he appears in error. 
 
 " Mr. Hopkins informed me to-day that this edition was in the first instance 
 corrected by John Wells, who compared it with the original edition, published 
 by McLean [sic] in 1788, and that it was subsequently revised by my father, at 
 whose casual suggestion Pacificus was printed with it." Memoranda by J. C. 
 Hamilton, Feb. 6, 1847. 
 
 From the "prefatory remarks " prefi.^ed to the Washington edition, it would

 appear that Mr. Jay also revised in this edition the numbers contributed by 
 him. See No. 41. 
 
 " In the year 1S02, Mr. Hopkins, printer, of this city, intending to publish a 
 new edition of The Federalist, took this opportunity to apply to Gen. Hamil- 
 ton, and solicit him to correct and revise the numbers, and, so far succeeded, 
 as to obtain his consent to assist in the revisal, provided a gentleman of com- 
 petent literary talents would undertake to make the first verbal corrections, for 
 the original idea was to be strictly adhered to ; — He then examined the whole 
 with his own eye, previous to its being committed to the press, and saw that it 
 was free from literary blemishes." William A. Coleman in the A'. V. Evening

 "The present edition of the Federalist contains all the numbersof that work, 
 as revised by their authors, and is the only one to which the remark will apply. 
 Former editions, indeed, it is understood, had the advantage of- a revisal from 
 Mr. Hamilton, and Mr. Jay, but the numbers written by Mr. Madison still re- 
 main in the state in which they originally issued from the press, and contain 
 many inaccuracies. The publisher of this volume has been so fortunate as to 
 procure from Mr. Madison the copy of the work which that gentleman had 
 preserved for himself, with corrections of the papers of which he was the 
 author, in his own hand." Prefatory remarks by Jacob Gideon, Jr. 
 
 Mr. Madison claims the authorship, in this edition, of Nos. iS, 19 and 20, 
 which Hamilton had given as their joint work; and 49 to 58, 62 and 63, which 
 Mr. Hamilton had claimed for himself. In spite of the research and study 
 devoted to the dispute, it is to-day impossible to give the authorship to either 
 with any certainty.

 All ever printed. This volume contains the text of The Federalist, entire, 
 and an Introduction, containing a history of the origin, original publication, 
 the controversy over the disputed numbers, and a bibliographical list of edi- 
 tions, all being treated with great thoroughness. It was Mr. Dawson's inten- 
 tion to give, in the second volume, the alterations which had been made in the 
 text of the various editions, and MSS. notes from copies of the work which had 
 belonged to the authors and other statesmen. The Introduction gave offense

 Contains an " Historical Notice," which is an endeavor to prove Hamilton 
 the author of the doubtful numbers ; in fact, the whole tendency is to magnify 
 Hamilton's part of the work, even the names of the other authors being printed

 " In i8ig, when John Quincy Adams, by direction of Congress, edited and 
 published the Journal of the Federal Convention, he drew up ... a list of the 
 members . . . This list was accepted and republished by Elliot, ... by Curtis 
 . . . and more recently in the Official Programme of the Constitutional Centen- 
 ial, and no additions are promised in the forthcoming memorial of that celebra- 
 tion — Thus this list prepared in i8rg, has become a fixture . . . There are, how- 
 ever, several omissions and by reference to original documents, acts, etc., I 
 have increased the list to seventy-four. To this I have added, in such cases as 
 I have been able, the reasons of members for declining the appointment, and 
 non-attendance of such as failed to be present in the Convention ; the day of 
 arrival of attending members; the absence of attending members; the date of 
 leaving of those who failed to sign the Constitution, with their reasons, and the 
 part the non-attending and non-signing members took in their own States in 
 support or opposition to the ratification." Extract from preface.

 Edited by Bradford K. Pierce and Charles Hale. It contains not only the 
 debates as printed in the two former editions, but the ante and post proceed- 
 ings of the General Court; Gerry's official letter; the Journal of the Conven- 
 tion; Judge Parsons " Minutes " of the debates; an account of the reception of 
 the news of the ratification, and of the procession which followed ; the " Let- 
 ters of an American;" Speeches of Franklin in the Federal Convention, and 
 Wilson in the Pa. Convention; 4 " Letters of Brutus," and a series of personal 
 letters relating to the proceedings in Massachusetts, mostly taken from .SjiarU's 
 Wiitings of Washington. 
 
 It is a most valuable volume for the history of the struggle over ratification 
 ^ Massachusetts, but it is a little strange that the editors should pass over the 
 essays on the Constitution from Massachusetts pens and select the letters 
 of "An American" and of "Brutus" — the first a Pennsylvania series, by 
 Tench Coxe, and the second by a New York writer.

 This volume includes, not only the I-eUers signed Decius, contributed to the 
 Virginia Independent Chronicle, between December, 178S and July, 1789, but 
 also many answers to the same, signed "Juvenal," " Philo Pat. Pat. Pauia," 
 " Anti Decius," " Honestus," and others. 
 
 It is a most scathing attack on the Anti-Federalists in Virginia, and especially 
 on their leader, Patrick Henry. Perhaps nothing illustrates better the rarity

 and difficulty of finding the pamphlets of this period than the fact that Mr.

 actions of Henry, of which I have been able to discover only a single (imper- 
 fect) copy. 
 
 I have been able to find nothing concerning Dr. Montgomery, except that he 
 was a member of the Virginia Convention. The so called third edition is

 From a letter in the Lamb papers (N. Y. Historical Soc.) it appears probable 
 that at least Hamilton, Jay and Lansing revised their speeches, though Francis 
 Childs, the reporter, virtually, in his preface, says that no such revision took 
 place. It is reprinted in Elliot, ii.

 " Written by John Nicholas, Esqr. formerly a member of Congress from 
 Virginia now resident in the State of New York. Boston 25 Sept 1818 W. S. 
 Shaw Sec. Bost. Athen." 
 
 Mr. Shaw probably derived his note given above, from John Adams, whose 
 copy this was. 
 
 The first edition (No. loo) is referred by Jefferson, apparently on Nicholas' 
 own authority to Dr. Montgomery, so that we seemingly have Jefferson giving 
 the authorship to Montgomery, and Adams giving it to Nicholas. They may 
 both be right, however, for the above pamphlet is merely the prospectus of a 
 new edition, and therefore might be written by an entirely different man than 
 the author. 
 
 The prospectus was issued immediately after the appearance of Wirt's Life 
 of Patrick Henry, with the avowed purpose of neutralizing that rose-colored 
 narrative. It was never however, cartied further than the prospectus.

 Two hundred and twenty-five copies were distributed by the New York Anti- 
 Federal committee to the local county committees of the State. 
 
 The " Letters of Centinel." were by Samuel Bryan, of Philadelphia, and 
 appeared originally in T/u Independent Gazetteer of that city. The letters were 
 exceedingly personal, and especially severe on Washington and Franklin, so it 
 is rather amusing to find Bryan writing to George Clinton in 1790 and request- 
 ing that he use his influence with Washington to obtain for his father a judge- 
 ship in the new government, and using his authorship of the letters as the 
 reason for Clinton's furthering his request.

 This is really the speech of Pinckney, introducing his draft of a constitution 
 in the Convention, May 29, 1787, which for some reason was omitted by both 
 Yates and Madison in their minutes. Though it does not include the proposed 
 draft, it nevertheless enables one to form a clear idea of what it was, and 
 proves that the draft furnished by Pinckney at the request of J. Q. Adams, 
 for publication in the Journal, and from that generally copied into other 
 places, to be fictitious in both form and substance.

 they were from the pen of Robert Yates, member of the Federal Convention 
 from New York.
