Hamiltonian Roots

Here's a link to a good online collection of Alexander Hamilton's writings, Henry Cabot Lodge's 12-volume The Works of Alexander Hamilton, (Federal Edition), published in 1904.

Don't forget to see Volume V (Foreign Relations (continued)), which includes Camillus essays I - XXIII, and Volume VI (Foreign Relations, Foreign Policy, The Whiskey Rebellion, Military Papers), which includes Camillus essays XXIV - XXXVIII.

This, the only real collection of Hamilton's works online, doesn't include the Philo Camillus essays that Hamilton wrote as a supplement to his Camillus essays to excoriate his opponents in the dispute over the Jay Treaty.

The complete writings of Hamilton were published in 27 volumes as edited by Harold C. Syrett, Harold C. and titled The Papers of Alexander Hamilton.

I mention these source materials as I start this blog because Hamilton wrote, as bloggers often do, important writings addressing current events of his time under many pseudonyms. Writing as Camillus, he stood up in favor of the very negatively received Jay Treaty between the United States and Britain following the Revolutionary War and through effective argument, changed public opinion.

Taking inspiration from Hamilton, I hope with this blog to address contemporary American foreign policy issues and thus take his pseudonym as my own.
