ut. Leaves of Grass, pp. 382; Specimen Days, pp. 374; November Boughs, pp. 140. Portraits face pp. 29 and 206. 600 copies. 1888 Democratic Vistas, and other Papers. By Walt Whitman. Published by arrangement with the author. London: Walter Scott, 24 Warwick Lane, Paternoster Row, 1888. 12 mo, cloth, paper label, uncut; title, contents, preface, pp. 175; advertisements. 1889 Leaves of Grass with Sands at Seventy and A Backward Glance o'er Travel'd Roads. To-day, after finishing my 70th year, the fancy comes for celebrating it by a special, complete, final utterance, in one handy volume, of L. of G., with their Annex, and Backward Glance--and for stamping and sprinkling all with portraits and facial photos, such as they actually were, taken from life, different stages. Doubtless, anyhow, the volume is more a _Person_ than a book. And for testimony to all (and for good measure) I here with pen and ink append my name: Walt Whitman. Portraits from Life; autograph; special edition. (300 copies only printed--$5 each.) The "Pocketbook" Leaves of Grass. Duodecimo, black morocco, with and without flaps, gilt edges.
