This is the two-volume, five-book set by George Bancroft, copyrighted in 1882, called:

History of the Formation of the Constitution of the United States of America

It's referenced in some United States Supreme Court decisions and comprises the work of most of a lifetime of interest in this subject by the author. The author personally visited and thoroughly read through many of the letters exchanged by the principles at the time and it's an excellent reference. I've taken the liberty to begin transcribing this document and you can start reading the results here, to the left.

I hope you enjoy it!
