Content: Two short clippings of Whitman's own prose, which have been pasted to a larger sheet and feature corrections in Whitman's hand. The printed text appeared uncorrected in the 5 January 1884 issue of the Critic with the title, "A Backward Glance on My Own Road." This essay was revised and included in Democratic Vistas, and Other Papers (1888) before parts of it were combined with two other pieces of journalism ("How I Made a Book," Philadelphia Press , 11 July 1886; "My Book and I," Lippincott's Magazine , January 1887) and published as "A Backward Glance O'er Travel'd Roads" in November Boughs (1888).
