The Federalist in the Supreme Court

Charles W. Pierson in the Yale Law Journal.

"From the days of Chief Justice Oliver Ellsworth down to the present time [1924] these unofficial newspaper essays have frequently been called upon by the highest tribunal of the nation for help in solving the nation's problems. Yet amid all the editions, translations, commentaries and discussions of disputed questions of authorship, text and bibliography no collection of these Supreme Court citations seems ever to have been attempted until the present writer approached the subject in an introduction to a recent edition. [footnote 1: G. P. Putnam's Sons (1923)] This paper is written in an effort to supply the omission."

See American State Papers, and see The Federalist by Publius (Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay), in Great Books of the Western World (first edition, 52 Vol., 1952) volume 43, (second edition, 60 Vol., 1990) volume 40.
