such important questions can only be
accomplished by careful historical analysis, which will show different
results for different epochs,--that, for example, the legal nature of
liberty is entirely different in the ancient state and in the modern.
Legal dialectics can easily deduce the given condition with equally
logical acuteness from principles directly opposed to one another. The
true principle is taught not by jurisprudence but by history.]

_SECOND IMPRESSION._

FORD'S THE FEDERALIST.

Edited by PAUL LEICESTER FORD, editor of the writings of Jefferson;
Bibliography of the Constitution of the United States, 1787-1788;
Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States. lxxvii + 793 pp.
Large 12mo. $1.75, _net_.

The present edition is the first in which any attempt has been made to
illustrate, in footnotes, not merely the obscure passages in the text,
but also the subsequent experience of the United States and other
countries where they relate to the views expressed by the authors. The
most authentic text has been used; the antiquated and often absurd
punctuation--largely due to incompetent early printers--has been
rationalized; and an introduction, abundant cross-references, and a
_full index_ materially increase the value of this edition for both
students and lawyers. Matter of obsolete or minor interest has been put
in distinctive type. An appendix of 149 pages contains The Constitution
with all the amendments, and the references to U.S. Reports, besides
other documents important to constitutional development.

_Roger Foster, author of Commentaries on the Constitution_: "The best
edition of _The Federalist_ that has been published."

_Right Hon. James Bryce_: "Far the best [edition] I have seen, and the
most likely to be useful to students of political science."

_New York Tribune_: "Mr. Ford's editing is nothing less than perfect....
Printed handsomely and published in a convenient size, this is an
invaluable edition, calculated to be of service not only to the
politician and lawyer, but to every thoughtful citizen."

_Review of Reviews_: "Mr. Ford has the habit of thoroughness in a very
remarkable degree; ... not only great ability, but rare opportunities
and invaluable experience.... A soundly edited text; ... an introductory
essay which really puts the touch of finality upon questions that have
been in dis
