Note

"A font of type" poem, by Walt Whitman, in colophon.
Date of publication taken from Donnelly and Dobkin, #268.
"The text of this edition is set in the Janson types, and is printed on Victorian paper especially made for the Press."--Colophon.
"The text of Whitman's poems, and even their titles, varied considerably from edition to edition. The present text generally follows the 'accepted' readings as published by David McKay in 1900, but in a few cases the text of the 1891-2 edition is followed. The present edition is a selection, not the complete Leaves of Grass."--Page [5].
