  • Content: A list of authors and books, some with specific editors and editions noted. Many of the authors and books which appear on the list (including the specification of a certain edition) are included in an essay entitled "Some Personal and Old-Age Memoranda," in which Whitman offers a description of objects which can be found strewn about the floor of his Camden home, "some quite handsome editions, some half cover'd by dust, some within reach, evidently used." The piece first appeared in the March 1891 issue of Lippincott's Magazine , and was then reprinted in The Critic on 28 February 1891. It was later published under the title "Some Personal and Old-Age Jottings" in Good-Bye My Fancy (1891) and Complete Prose Works (1892).
