Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Published Archives of Pennsylvania Covering the 138 Volumes of Colonial Records and Pennsylvania Archives, Series I-IX A very definite attempt has been made to attain detachment and fair ness in presenting the story of the published archives. Satisfied with our present - day concept as 'to what deserves emphasis, moderns tend to manifest impatience with the differing interest, the seemingly more trivial and romantic fads and fashions of earlier days. Current preju dice almost inevitably colors our estimate of a generation of historians more concerned than we are with spectacular incident and military glory. It is hoped that such critical comment as is contained in this Guide may be expressed with fitting tolerance and humility even while fulfilling its essential purpose of providing honest guidance to modern searchers, for most of whom a primary interest in the development of documented studies treating themes of general economic and social significance can be assumed. Very possibly posterity will consider our interests, too, as somewhat quaint, and certainly we should avoid biased judgment.

Download or read book The Federalist Papers written by Alexander Hamilton and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classic Books Library presents this brand new edition of “The Federalist Papers”, a collection of separate essays and articles compiled in 1788 by Alexander Hamilton. Following the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776, the governing doctrines and policies of the States lacked cohesion. “The Federalist”, as it was previously known, was constructed by American statesman Alexander Hamilton, and was intended to catalyse the ratification of the United States Constitution. Hamilton recruited fellow statesmen James Madison Jr., and John Jay to write papers for the compendium, and the three are known as some of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Alexander Hamilton (c. 1755–1804) was an American lawyer, journalist and highly influential government official. He also served as a Senior Officer in the Army between 1799-1800 and founded the Federalist Party, the system that governed the nation’s finances. His contributions to the Constitution and leadership made a significant and lasting impact on the early development of the nation of the United States.
