ADDENDUM

In the George F. Hopkins edition of 1802, which must be taken as Hamilton’s final version of the Federalist Papers, he insisted that the edition include his Pacificus. He remarked to Hopkins that “some of his friends had pronounced [it] . . . his best performance,” apparently feeling that this was a natural supplement to what he had already written in his commentary on the United States Constitution.
