The Federalist #83 by Alexander Hamilton

Federalist No. 83 is an essay by Alexander Hamilton, the eighty-third of The Federalist Papers. It was published on July 5, 9, and 12, 1788, under the pseudonym Publius, the name under which all The Federalist papers were published. Titled "The Judiciary Continued in Relation to Trial by Jury", it is the last in a series of six essays discussing the powers and limitations of the judicial branch.

Sir, seeing as you are engaged in the recording and reading of great political works of the Enlightenment, I would wish to suggest, if only as a slight suggestion, the potential reading and recording of Mr. Jean-Louis DeLolme's book The Constitution of England (available on the Online Library of Liberty for free) as part of your audiobook collection. It has seemed to me that such a work of exceeding quality and information with an appeal rivaling that of Locke, Hobbes, and the Federalists during the formation of the United States constitution should not be so overlooked by the general public. Unfortunately, I am a poor reader, and after becoming aware of your great voice through your other audiobooks, I hope that you might take this comment into consideration after the completion of this series of Federalist papers.
I do not wish to too heavily belabor Mr. DeLolme's credentials, but I would also like to show that he would be worth your time, if you would take my suggestion into consideration.
Mr. DeLolme's volumes been cited as Junius, which you may recall reading in Hamilton's Federalist #70. His work has been cited as "the best defense of the political balance of three powers that was ever written" by President John Adams in his magnum opus Defense of the United States Constitution. Equally, his work is listed among the necessary readings for an educated gentleman in Thomas Jefferson's Reading list (August 30, 1814). Furthermore his legacy in England on Constitutionalism and Common Law is so widely profound that Jeremy Bentham declares "it is to a foreigner we were destined to owe the best idea that has yet been given of a subject so much our own. Our author [Blackstone] has copied; but Monsieur DeLolme has thought" (Fragment on Government, 1776). This Blackstone, the author of the famous Commentaries on the Laws of England, remained so heavily popular that Jefferson exclaimed "I have long lamented with you the depreciation of law science. the opinion seems to be that Blackstone is to us what the Al Quran is to the Mahometans, that every thing which is necessary is in him, & what is not in him is not necessary"(May 26, 1810). Yet with this overwhelming popularity, Mr. DeLolme has been compared as superior in this field by numerous titans of Enlightenment law. He has been proclaimed as the "English Montesquieu" by Issac Disraeli (1812), and his volume underwent subsequent editions and a final commentary by Thomas George Western and ordered to be translated into the Egyptian language by Pasha Muhammed Ali in 1830.
It has often occurred to me, how unfortunate it is that such a work should be almost entirely forgotten, and though replaced by other works in the study of political science, still leaves an inadequate understanding of the political thinking at that time which our modern constitutions so greatly depend upon. Your work and patience, if expended, will be of incredible value to yourself, and many others.
I thank you with my sincerest sentiments for your work so far, and reading my comment sir, may you have a great day.
