Lincoln occurred and the author withheld the balance until a few
weeks later when he added "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard
Bloom'd and other Pieces," with pagination distinct from that of
Drum-Taps, as a sequel. This and the "Sequel" formed the first
and second annexes to the fourth edition, 1867, of Leaves of
Grass, and were later incorporated in the Washington, 1871
edition under the title of Drum-Taps. Copies without the
"sequel" are exceedingly scarce.

1865

Sequel to Drum-Taps (since the preceding came from the press). When
Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd. And Other Pieces. Washington, D. C.,
1865-6.

Duodecimo, pp. 24.

It is doubtful if any copies reached the market other than those
issued as a part of Drum-Taps. The remaining copies were bound
up with second issue of the 1867 edition.

1867

Leaves of Grass. New York, 1867.

Fourth edition.

Duodecimo, walnut half-morocco, title, contents, iv, pp. (7)-338.
There is also a cloth bound issue that differs in no manner from
the above. Both have "Ed'n 1867" stamped in gilt on back.

Later issues of this edition have added, under separate
pagination, Drum-Taps, pp. iv-72; Sequel to Drum-Taps, pp. 24;
Songs Before Parting, pp. 36. A blank leaf separates each
section.

In this edition the author changes the writing of the past
participle to 'd. The verses and sections are numbered.

[quotation from Michelangelo]. London: John Camden Hotten, Piccadilly,

facsimile signature, title, page of quotations from Swedenborg,
Carlyle, and Robespierre, note on portrait, dedication (by W. M. R.)

Leaves of Grass, pp. 64; half-title, pp. 401, postscript. Eight
pages of advertisements in front, and sixteen pages in back.

The first English, or "Rossetti's Edition." W. D. O'Connor
writing to an European friend called it "A fairly
representative, but nevertheless, castrated edition."

Windus, London. Third edition, 1910.
