WALT WHIrMAN's "LEAvEs OF GRASS"
Of which the public has heard something, get
the honor of notice from the Westminster
Review,-and a very just one too, The critic
is not quite just in his representation that
Whitman's book is or can be popular and
largely circulated in this country. very un-
deserved and most unfortunate sentence OF
praise from Ralph Waldo Emerson gave 1t
some circulation. 1t is nowise likely that Mr..
Emerson will repeat that praise. He has more
more than once been quite unaccounta0.e IN
his sudden criticism. Without his few words
of praise, that production Walt Whitman
would not have been heard beyond the rowdy
circle 10 which he belongs. But here is what
the Westminster Review says
'.lf Mr.. Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass
had been printed on paper as dirty as ms
fayulite topics-if the book Itself mad presented
the genera aspect OF that literature winch
usually falls under no other criticism than tlat
of the police office, we should have passed it
by without notice, as addressing only such
public as we have no concern with; but when
a volume containing more obscenty and pro
family than is perhaps elsewhere to be found
within the same compass presents Itself III ali
the glories of hOt-pressed paper, costly binding,
and stereotype printing, and we belleVe as
fourth edition, it is manifest that 1t not only
addresses, but has found public OF much
wider class, and it becomes question now
such a book can have acquired vogue and
popularity that could induce an American
publisher to spend so much upon its outward
setting forth
Perhaps loose thinking and tall talk are no.
where so efficaciOus in attracting notice as IN
the United States and MIR. Whitman, by pre-
tentouslv assuming to be the exponent OF He
gelian morality by offering himself as the
high-priest OF that religion, whose sole dogma
is comprised in the proposition Homo s'a' ae"S

good sense would otherwise soon cast ASIDE Ills

much to answer for, and viii in reputatio

and slavery should now be added that OF Il
emancipation Of the flesh, isan indication OF
moral disorganizatlon in the states, which is
very evil promise. That drunken hel
should display himself in the market plat

ter OF Rev. DR. Joseph Law, Methodist, to
whom she was married in her own proper fam
lily name, in New York. in 1919 In Scptcm-
Der, 1865, she made the acquaintance OF DR..
Francis Mahan, in ThOmpsOn'S saloon, Broad
way, and in the course of successive inter-
views afterwards, she made linn believe that
she was maiden lady, fancy free" and the
daughter Of Admiral Seymour, but she never
allowed him to accompany her to her resi-
dcnce in Brooklyn. She visited him at his
rooms, and met him at saloons and other places
in New York. On the 18th OF December, in
1865, at Williamsburg, she was married to him
by Catholic priest, she protesting TO be
Catholic. Thus for five years SHE managed 10
live with two husbands, neither suspecting
that she had another. Sine from time to time
put off DIR. Mahan from having the marriage
with him disclosed, by pretending that she
would lose large amount OF property by mar
| rying without the consent OF her family. Her
defense to the libel is that Mr.. Beardsley had
been guilty OF a breach OF his marital VOWS.
