- Notes:
- "Various important and interesting principles are now depending; and the decision of some of them must involve the great question, whether all the powers of sovereignty, affecting life, liberty and property, are transferred to the federal government ... To assist in the solution of this great question, the present pamphlet is submitted to the American people. The report, from the pen of James Madison, is ... scarce, out of print, and frequently called for. ... the publisher has determined to subjoin to it the essays of Hampden ... These essays, too, are frequently called for, and no copies to be procured. ... The publisher."--p. [3].
