“In the final tally, The Federalist Papers ran to 85 essays, with 51 attributed to Hamilton, 29 to Madison, and only 5 to Jay. Since Hamilton had not reckoned on Jay‘s illness and had expected to include Morris and Duer, he could have never anticipated that he and Madison would write so much in 7 months—some 175,000 words in all. . . . The Federalist ended up running to two volumes of about 600 pages.”
