Sobre este artículo
Boston: Small, Maynard & Company, 1898. First Edition. Hardcover. Largely unopened; slight paper split to front hinge but covers very tight and firm; offsetting from newspaper clipping between two initial blanks. Fine copy. Original gilt-lettered red cloth. Edited with a preface by Richard Maurice Bucke, one of Whitman's literary executors. BAL 21448: Issue 2; Meyerson A15.1.a. Illustrated with a portrait of Whitman from a photograph by Gardner. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by another of Whitman's literary executors, Thomas B. Harned, on 20 February 1898 to renowned author Mary Mapes Dodge, the recognized leader in juvenile literature for almost a third of the nineteenth century. For more than 30 years Dodge edited ST. NICHOLAS MAGAZINE, the primary magazine for children at the time. She also wrote the classic HANS BRINKER, OR THE SILVER SKATES. Below Harned's inscription in an unknown hand is written the following quote from "George Fox (and Shakspere)" in NOVEMBER BOUGHS: "I say whoever labors here, makes contributions here, or best of all sets an incarnated example here, of life or death, is dearest to humanityremains after the rest are gone."
