Content:
A manuscript containing prose notes about science and the names of various scientific fields. Although Whitman was interested in sciene throughout his life, his most intense period of interest in the subject was during the late 1840s and 1850s. The small handwriting and small scrap of paper on which the note is written are also characteristic of Whitman's early writing (see Edward Grier,
Notebooks and Unpublished Prose Manuscripts
[New York: New York University Press, 1984], 5:1998). The manuscript was therefore likely written in the late 1840s or the 1850s. The manuscript is pasted down to a backing sheet, making the verso inaccessible.
