Camillus and Publius

"As 'Camillus,' Hamilton attempted to for international relations what 'Publius; had done for domestic affairs. In these essays he propounded at such length the principles which he believed ought to guide the United States in its relations with foreign powers that Jefferson was writing 'an Encyclopedia' on international affairs preparatory, presumably, to taking over the direction of the State Department."
John Chester Miller, Alexander Hamilton and the Growth of the New Nation, 2003.
