The Federalist Papers
This is the Project Gutenberg 1.1 release of
The Federalist Papers
Available for browsing and searching on the Internet Gopher <GOP005>
Due to an error in file transfer the 1.0 version was decapitated of all
but the first section of the five sections we received in which the
following information was contained in various mark-up formats and
various footnoting conventions. You may note in the middle portion that
the footnotes are different, and indentation is practically
non-existent. We hope to have this fixed in only a week or so, as we
are requesting new copies from which to work and we are also requesting
a scholarly review of this file, from Tom Horton (one of the requestors
of the file. . .Tom. . .help-- are you out there). So, please bear in
mind that while editions from Project Gutenberg are not supposed to be
authoritative, our expectations are to provide you with documents that
are at least internally consistent. Therefore, the next release or two
would be in hopes of clearing this up immediately.
My personal apologies to those who require them. I have edited, and
edited, but find myself at the point of diminshing returns.
Hopefully at that is in error is that I received an inconsistent
collection of file portions and the correct file(s) will be sent
shortly. Otherwise I have to rely on Federalist scholars to see what I
cannot see in the middle fifth of this file, and correct, send to me,
and advise on the preparation of later version.
As mentioned in the August 31 newsletter, we have several files, each of
various editions of The Federalist Papers, but this one, such as it is,
was okayed for release. The others are still in, shall we say, a state
of limbo.
