Whitman's copy of this booklet, published in 1851, with handwritten
annotations on several pages. The longest of these notes, which appears
on p. 2 of the appendix, constitutes a draft of a passage that Whitman
incorporated into the ninth number of his "Brooklyniana" series, which was published in the
Brooklyn Standard
on February 1, 1862. Only those pages bearing Whitman's annotations are currently linked from this record.
