Excerpt from Notes on Walt Whitman: As Poet and Person

Note rs Second Edition. - Thc following essay, as far as page 108, having been issued in 1867, was based of course on the editions of Leaves or Class anterior to that time, of 1855, '57, '60, and especially of 1866-7. The last-named and fourth, though mentioned on page 22 following as the completed edition, has now been superceded by a later and fuller one, the fifth, (see page 109 following;) the excep tion mentioned on page 22, and the part still lacking, alluded to on page 71 of the present work, having necessitated, as appears, not only an important addition of new Leaves, but a rearrangement of the old ones.
