Now introduced by eminent civil libertarian, constitutional
scholar, and New York Times bestselling author Alan Dershowitz, The
Federalist Papers are a must-have for all scholars of history and
government and all Americans. Widely considered to be among the
most important historical collections of all time, The Federalist
Papers were intended to persuade New York at-large delegates to the
Constitutional Convention to accept the newly drafted Constitution
in 1787. Authored in parts by Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, together
as the pseudonym of Publius, the documents have been referred to
and heavily cited countless times in all aspects of American
government and politics. Together, the eighty-five Federalist
essays stand among the Constitution of the United States, the
Declaration of Independence, Common Sense, and other work by the
Founding Fathers that helped build and solidify the foundation of
American democracy. With its rich history and a new introduction
from Alan Dershowitz, one of the most prominent legal minds in the
country, The Federalist Papers will educate you on the groundwork
that shaped the greatest country in the world.

Here, in a single volume, is a selection of the classic critiques
of the new Constitution penned by such ardent defenders of states'
rights and personal liberty as George Mason, Patrick Henry, and
Melancton Smith; pro-Constitution writings by James Wilson and Noah
Webster; and thirty-three of the best-known and most crucial
Federalist Papers by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John
Jay. The texts of the chief constitutional documents of the early
Republic are included as well. David Wootton's illuminating
Introduction examines the history of such American principles of
government as checks and balances, the separation of powers,
representation by election, and judicial independenceaincluding
their roots in the largely Scottish, English, and French new
science of politics. It also offers suggestions for reading The
Federalist, the classic elaboration of these principles written in
defense of a new Constitution that sought to apply them to the
young Republic.
The Federalist represents one side of one of the most momentous political debates ever conducted: whether to ratify, or to reject, the newly drafted American constitution. This authoritative new edition presents complete texts for all of the eighty-five Federalist papers, along with the sixteen letters of "Brutus", the unknown New York Antifederalist. Each paper is systematically cross-referenced to the other, and both to the appended Articles of Confederation and U.S. Constitution. Terence Ball's editing skills enhance the accessibility of a classic of political thought in action.

Volume 7 of The Selected Papers of John Jay opens in 1799 with John
Jay well into his second term as governor of New York. After
overseeing the passage of the law for gradually abolishing slavery
in March 1799, Jay's administration faltered in its final months
due to an ascendant Republican Party and a subsequent paralyzing
conflict with the Council of Appointment. Retirement from public
service in May 1801 provided a welcome opportunity to focus on
family and farming, yet Jay's domestic enjoyment was upended the
following year by the untimely loss of his beloved wife and
partner, Sarah Livingston Jay. Although rarely away from his
Bedford homestead, Jay did participate, albeit in a limited manner,
in political and religious affairs. The volume discusses his role
in advising and assisting Federalist leaders during the War of
1812, his engagement with the Episcopal Church, and his leadership
of the American Bible Society starting in 1821. Moreover, Jay
maintained a steady correspondence with several individuals who
sought information about the revolutionary conflict and the
founding of the American republic. Volume 7 concludes with coverage
of Jay's declining health and diminished activities during the
1820s and his eventual death as he succumbed to illness on May 17,
1829.

Volume 6 opens with John Jay aboard the Ohio, bound for London in
May 1794, to begin what will prove to be the most controversial
mission of his career: the negotiation of the treaty that now bears
his name. The volume documents the series of proposals and drafts
that culminated in the treaty, as well as the mounting criticism
against the treaty from the time of its reception on American
shores to its ratification in the Senate. Soon after his return to
New York in May 1795, Jay took up a new public office as recently
elected governor of that state. The volume covers the policies
formulated and implemented by Jay's administration-including those
related to Indian affairs, outbreaks of infectious disease,
judicial and penal reform, and the state's inadequate military
defenses-and looks ahead to his second term.
Volume 2 of The Selected Letters of John Jay opens in January 1780
with John Jay’s arrival in Spain on his first diplomatic mission
abroad. It ends in June 1782 with his departure for France to join
Benjamin Franklin as one of the American commissioners to negotiate
a peace treaty with Great Britain. Jay was accompanied by his wife,
Sarah Livingston Jay, his brother-in-law and private secretary,
Henry Brockholst Livingston, and his young nephew, Peter Jay Munro,
and by his official secretary William Carmichael. The travellers’
personal letters supplement the public correspondence with
American, Spanish, and French officials and financiers. The
documents provide a case study of the perils of negotiating from a
position of political, military, and, especially, financial
weakness, and delineate the conflicts that plagued Spanish-American
relations for decades. They also demonstrate the additional strains
on Jay’s household caused by social isolation, insufficient
funds, separation from their often endangered families, and routine
detention and inspection of their mail. Jay’s mission was to seek
Spanish recognition of American independence, a treaty of alliance,
and financial aid. Thwarted by Spain’s refusal to acknowledge
American independence or to receive any American diplomat as
representative of an independent nation, he soon despaired of real
progress in his treaty negotiations. The ministry was
unsympathetic, the military situation was unpropitious, and America
could offer little in exchange for Spanish aid. What Spain wanted
most, exclusive control of the Mississippi Valley and the Gulf of
Mexico, required American abandonment of western land claims and
insistence on the right to navigate the Mississippi River,
concessions congressional instructions forbade. Further undermining
Jay’s negotiating position were the “cursed bills” Congress
drew on him in anticipation of loans it hoped Jay would obtain, but
which Spain was unwilling and unable to grant. Jay became ever more
critical of Spain's ""jealous and absolute"" government, which had
""little money, less wisdom, no credit, nor any right to it.""
Although Jay secured some Spanish funding, American credit was
rescued primarily by further aid from France. Jay appreciated
French assistance but, mindful of France’s obligations to its
Spanish ally, became increasingly wary of subordinating American
interests to French direction. Jay’s Spanish experience set the
stage for his independent stance during the peace negotiations and
magnified his determination to create a stronger, more unified
nation that would be treated with respect abroad. Access to people,
places, and events in the volume is facilitated by detailed
annotation, illustrations, and a comprehensive index.
It's much easier to grasp complex data relationships with a graph
than by scanning numbers in a spreadsheet. This introductory guide
shows you how to use the R language to create a variety of useful
graphs for visualizing and analyzing complex data for science,
business, media, and many other fields. You'll learn methods for
highlighting important relationships and trends, reducing data to
simpler forms, and emphasizing key numbers at a glance. Anyone who
wants to analyze data will find something useful here-even if you
don't have a background in mathematics, statistics, or computer
programming. If you want to examine data related to your work, this
book is the ideal way to start. Get started with R by learning
basic commands Build single variable graphs, such as dot and pie
charts, box plots, and histograms Explore the relationship between
two quantitative variables with scatter plots, high-density plots,
and other techniques Use scatterplot matrices, 3D plots,
clustering, heat maps, and other graphs to visualize relationships
among three or more variables
After becoming popularized by the troubadours of southern
France in the twelfth century, the social system of 'courtly love'
soon spread. Evidence of the influence of courtly love in the
culture and literature of most of western Europe spans centuries.
This unabridged edition of codifies life at Queen Eleanor's court
at Poitiers between 1170 and 1174 into 'one of those capital works
which reflect the thought of a great epoch, which explain the
secret of a civilization.' This translation of a work that may be
viewed as didactic, mocking, or merely descriptive, preserves the
attitudes and practices that were the foundation of a long and
significant tradition in English literature.
Here, in a single volume, is a selection of the classic critiques

The Federalist Papers (1787-1788) is a collection of essays and
articles by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.
Written in support of the recently completed Constitutional
Convention, The Federalist Papers were intended to support the
ratification process of the new United States Constitution. When
the Constitutional Convention was completed on September 17, 1787
in Philadelphia, the newly-agreed upon Constitution was sent to the
states for ratification. As opponents of a strong centralized
government began attacking the Constitution in the press, Hamilton
recruited Jay and Madison to contribute articles and essays in
favor of Federalism to prominent journals and newspapers. Published
between October 27, 1787 and May 28, 1788, The Federalist Papers
were written by the three authors under the pseudonym "Publius."
Although Hamilton wrote the vast majority, Madison's and Jay's
contributions are still seen as essential works on the philosophy
of American governance. Federalist Nos. 10 and 14, both written by
Madison, are regarded as especially significant for arguing for the
possibility of effectively governing an expansive republic. In
Federalist No. 84, Hamilton argues against adding a Bill of Rights,
a proposed compromise with Anti-Federalists that would eventually
make up the first ten Amendments to the Constitution. Other
important topics introduced or explained in The Federalist Papers
include the doctrine of judicial review, the case for a single
chief executive, and the purpose of checks and balances. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of The Federalist Papers is a classic of American
political history reimagined for modern readers.
‘The establishment of a Constitution, in a time of profound peace, by the voluntary consent of a whole people, is a PRODIGY’ Written at a time when furious arguments were raging about the best way to govern America, The Federalist Papers had the immediate pratical aim of persuading New Yorkers to accept the newly drafted Constitution in 1787. In this they were supremely successful, but their influence also transcended contemporary debate to win them a lasting place in discussions of American political theory. Acclaimed by Thomas Jefferson as ‘the best commentary on the principles of government which ever was written’, The Federalist Papers make a powerful case for power-sharing between State and Federal authorities and for a Constitution that has endured largely unchanged for two hundred years. In a brilliantly detailed introduction Isaac Kramnick sets the Papers in their historical and political context. This edition also contains the American Constitution as an appendix.

No competing edition of The Federalist offers nearly as much help
in grasping Publius' arguments in defense of the new but unratified
United States Constitution of 1787 as this new annotated edition by
J. R. Pole. Essay by essay--with ample cross-references and glosses
on 18th-century linguistic usage--Pole's commentary lays bare the
intellectual background and assumptions of Alexander Hamilton,
James Madison, and John Jay; explicates and critiques The
Federalist's central concepts, rhetorical strategies, and
arguments; and points up the international, national, and local
facts on the ground relevant to Confederation Era New Yorkers, the
constituency to which The Federalist was originally addressed.
Pole's Introduction, a brief chronology of political events from
1688 to 1791, a brief overview of the themes of the essays, the
text of the Constitution cross-referenced to The Federalist , and
an index of proper names, concepts, and themes that also functions
as a glossary further distinguish this edition.
