I guess I’m a little confused. There are supposed to be 85 essays in the Federalist but this book only has 18. I don’t see a description of the book that warns of this. Am I missing something? The introduction talks about all 85 essays as if they are all in this publication. Nothing in the product discription warns that this publication only contains an abreviated list of the essays.

The Federalist Papers Signet Classics Alexander Hamilton James Madison John Jay Clinton Rossiter Charles R Kessler 9780451528810 Books Reviews

This is the absolute best version of this celebrated books! All such books contain the accurate text of the papers themselves, but this book contains so much more, and eliminates the need for the many additional books it would take to complete one's understanding of this priceless reference to the Supreme Law of the American Nation, our Constitution.

The Introduction by Charles Kessler is 25 pages and a terrific read in itself. In this introduction he puts the Federalist into the context of the history then and its significance now. He also helps to explain the overall scheme of the papers, as well as important, general themes, and points to significant numbers and passages in support of the overall scheme and important general themes. Add 22 pages of Précis, a short summary of each of the 85 papers, which gives every reader a good idea of the contents of every paper, and a better basis for understanding the contents and overall frame of Publius' arguments.

Also in this amazing reference book are copies of the Articles of Confederation, the Declaration, and the Constitution. Furthermore, the copy of the Constitution is collated with the Federalist Papers; the corresponding page number of the passage in the Federalist is shown in the margin, next to the related passage in the Constitution. This is another benefit to a more thorough understanding of the Federalist Papers. Another great tool placed in this book, which is absolutely essential for understanding Publius' meanings in the individual papers, are the 66 page Notes section which explains the many references to Historical people, places, and events that are inserted in the Federalist, all of which may have been common knowledge to the Founders, but are often lost in today's readers. Finally, there is a small, selected bibliography for additional research, and a thorough index.

If one cares to read, what Thomas Jefferson called "...the best commentary on the principles of government which ever was written..." and to understand those principles and our Founders' intentions in framing our Constitution, this is the best one book source for doing so.
It contains all of the papers that I didn't receive from the The Complete Federalist and anti Federalist book I purchased before. Now I can read all of them!
Most books with the Federalist Papers that I could find only had a selection of them included. This book contains all 85 and also lists who wrote them and when they were published (if that information is available). It also has a fairly decent Table of Contents so you can easily find the paper you're looking for. The constitution is also included at the beginning which some people might find handy. Overall exactly what I was looking for. Would buy again.
“The Federalist Papers” (more correctly called “The Federalist”) is a series of 85 essays that seek to explain the United States Constitution and the American system of government. Written between 1787 and 1788 by Founding Fathers Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, these documents were published in order to persuade citizens to vote in favor of ratifying the Constitution.

I think “The Federalist Papers” rank alongside the Constitution and Declaration of Independence as the most important documents in American history. They are absolutely essential reading for anyone wishing to explore and understand how and why the American system of government works the way it does. Because they’re written in a style common to 18th century writers, “The Federalist Papers” can frequently be tedious to read. (Nobody will ever accuse Hamilton, Madison, or Jay of having a particularly lively or interesting writing style.)

However stilted their writing style, Hamilton, Madison, and Jay’s arguments are clear, cogent and persuasive. They are of immeasurable help in providing readers with a clear understanding of what the framers of the Constitution intended, and how the Federal system of American government works.

This particular edition of "The Federalist Papers" is specially prepared for use on devices. There is no explanatory introduction by legal scholars or political pundits. Nor are there any endnotes or footnotes. Readers are permitted to read these essays as they were written, and to form their own judgments about what they've read. Most highly recommended.
In the description it says, "This book features edited highlights of the essays". This isn't the case for the hard copy edition. It doesn't even have half of the papers in this edition. Returned
It should be noted this does not include ALL of the Federalist Papers. It is a selected few, which I didn't notice when I bought it. I wanted them all sor study purposes, so I got another paperback with all 86 papers for 1/2 the price at a bookstore.
