Content:
One of a series of draft introductions Whitman prepared for
Leaves of Grass
, but which were never printed during Whitman's lifetime. Though this introduction was not printed as a complete and distinct piece until collected by Clifton Joseph Furness in
Walt Whitman's Workshop
(1928), portions of this draft were used in
Democratic Vistas
(1871).
