This is the title page of the first volume of a 1799 New York edition of *The Federalist*, printed by John Tiebout and held in the Library of Congress's Prints and Photographs Division. The essays first appeared in 1788 as newspaper articles signed "Publius," written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay to build support for ratifying the Constitution. Collected editions like this one kept those arguments in circulation during the early years of the federal government, when political parties were taking shape. The record's details come from an older caption card and have not been fully verified.
