"The present edition . . . is the most complete and accurate that
has yet appeared . . . Everyone who is interested in either the

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
