This manuscript contains a note composed around 1857-1859. It contains two phrases ("authors who
considered their subject with reference to the ensemble of the world"; "every
subject has been made too prononce' ") that are resonant with passages of the poem
"Laws for Creation" first
published in the 1860 edition of
Leaves of Grass
and later retained in all subsequent
editions of
Leaves of Grass
.
