The Federalist: A Collection of Essays

No book-club issue exists for an eighteenth-century imprint. The reprint and reissue tells that matter are: (1) the 1799 Tiebout reissue — original McLean sheets under a cancel title page, the single most common misidentification; (2) the nineteenth-century resettings (Hopkins 1802, Williams & Whiting 1810, Gideon 1818 and after), all of which announce themselves on the title page; and (3) modern two-volume facsimile reprints of the 1788 edition, including law-reprint-house issues, which reproduce the original title pages but betray themselves by machine-made paper, modern casing, a modern publisher's imprint elsewhere in the book, and an ISBN.
