Content:
This manuscript, known only from a transcription published by Clifton Joseph Furness in
Walt Whitman's Workshop: A Collection of Unpublished Manuscripts
(Harvard University Press, 1928), 43, includes lines that appeared, in a slightly altered form, in the preface to the 1855 edition of
Leaves of Grass
, and later in the poem eventually titled "By Blue Ontario's Shore," first published in the 1856 edition of
Leaves
as "Poem of Many in One." The date of the manuscript is therefore probably before or early in 1855.
