The Federalist Papers
The high demand for the essays led to their publication in a more permanent form. On January 1, 1788, the New York publishing firm J. & A. McLean announced that they would publish the first thirty-six essays as a bound volume; that volume was released on March 22, 1788, and was titled "The Federalist" Volume 1. New essays continued to appear in the newspapers; Federalist No. 77 was the last number to appear first in that form, on April 2. A second bound volume containing "Federalist" 37–77 and the yet to be published "Federalist" 78–85 was released on May 28. The last eight papers ("Federalist" 78–85) were republished in the New York newspapers between June 14 and August 16, 1788.
Political Affairs (magazine)
The publication can be traced back to "The Masses", the famous Greenwich Village paper of the 1910s. After being suppressed by the government, the paper continued as "The Liberator". Independently of this, the Friends of Soviet Russia had established another monthly, "Soviet Russia", in 1919. In 1924 the title was changed to "Soviet Russia Pictorial". Finally, William Z. Foster had begun "Labor Herald" as the official publication of his Trade Union Educational League in March 1922. When the Workers Party of America had finally been consolidated as the unified above-ground Communist Party in the United States, it was determined that the party should have a theoretical monthly as well as a daily, in line with Lenin's guideline in "What Is To Be Done?" The above three publications were combined into "Workers Monthly", which debuted in November 1924. It changed its name to "The Communist" in 1927 and to "Political Affairs" in 1944.
