1893

_In Re_ Walt Whitman. Edited by his Literary Executors, Horace L.
Traubel, Richard Maurice Bucke, Thomas B. Harned [quotation from
Lucretius]. Published by the Editors through David McKay, 23 South Ninth
Street, Philadelphia, 1893.

Octavo, cloth, uncut; half-title, title, a First and Last Word,
contents, x, pp. 452; advertisements. But 1,000 copies were
published. Each copy was to be numbered consecutively, though
many are found without the number. Most copies have the
signatures of one or all the executors.

The volume contains the following by Walt Whitman:

Walt Whitman and his Poems, pp. 13-21.
Leaves of Grass: a volume of poems just published, pp. 23-26.
An English and an American Poet, pp. 27-32.
Letters in Sickness: Washington, 1873, pp. 73-92.

The first three articles were written by Whitman during 1855-56
and sent to the newspapers anonymously. He insisted that
considering the misunderstanding and abuse accorded to Leaves of
Grass, he was compelled to resort to these methods to defend his
work in columns that would have been otherwise closed to him.
The latter was a series of letters to his mother.
