Excerpt from The Works of Alexander Hamilton, Vol. 2: Comprising His Correspondence, and His Political and Official Writings, Exclusive of the Federalist, Civil and Military Two modes of editing these Works presented themselves one, the publication of them in chronological series, without distinction of subject or character; another, the publication of all the correspondence consecutively, according to date, and a similar but distinct disposition of the other writings. On reflection, I have preferred a third course: that of comprising in a separate volume the correspondence, and in another, the remaining writings, which precede the organization of the present Constitution of the United States. As that correspondence and those writings chiefly relate to that important epoch in our history, this seemed to be a natural point of division. In the future volumes, a similar distribution will be observed, with this difference: the classification of the official papers accord ing to their subjects and dates, to be followed by the residue of the correspondence, as in part arising out of, or explanatory of these papers. The publication to close with the writings not official. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
