American literature, with the un-
clouded assurance that "Leaves Of
Grass" was an "illustration" of what
that literature in the future would be.
WAS ore Of the most uncommon gest-
ures ever made by an unknown genius
in the history of letters.
This article was but one of three
that Whitman wrote and printed in
launching his Leaves of Grass" upon
the literary seas of America In the
middle Of the last century, when the
stately and full-blown sails of Long
fellows, Whittier's, Bryant's, Holiness
and Emerson's art were there to take
the wind and blanket this strange new
craft with the nondescript canvas.
Looking back now upon this piece of
exposition it seems much less a
case of audacious egotism than practi-
cal SELF preservation, bold and shrewd
declaration Of the poets aims and in
tentions to a world which he asked and
desired to take him on his own terms
and judge him by the results of his
achievement. Thus he writes:
"To give judgment on real poems,
one needs an account of the poet him
self Very devilish to some, and very
divine to some, will appear the poet
of these new poems, the Leaves of
Grass; an attempt. as they are, Of a
naive, masculine, affectionate, contem-
plative, sensual, imperious person to
cast into literature not only his own
grit and arrogance, but his own flesh
and form, undraped, regardless of mod
els, regardless Of modesty or law and
ignorant or silently scornful, as at first
appears, OF all except his own pres
ence and experience, and all outside

and the birth of his parents and their

the first Of these gloom dispellers ever

much less to do with the immediate
admiration of writer's like G. H. Lewes,
W. NJ. Rossetti, Edward Dowden Swim

than the intrinsic substance and sin
cerity of the poems. There is a Curl
Gus commentary in the fact that even
SO pronounced and arrogant an aristo-
crat in art as Tennyson should see in
the "Leaves of Grass" profundity
of embodiment and utterance that
neither Longfellow nor Lowell would
SO much as recognize.
If in the early years of his career
Whitman lacked even so much as a
nodding acquaintance with literary
authority in Amer rica he was not with
cut his passionate disciples and ad-
mirers among some literary men then
unknown to fame. These men, among
whom John Burroughs and w. D..
O'Connor were the most prominent,
were the spring from which gushed
that stream of prophecy on which
Whitman's genius f1oated through time
to immortality. The young men of the
time of the earlier editions of the
Leaves of Grass" became the author
ity of the next generation, and it was
to them that Whitman owed the growth
of his fame. O'Connor's pamphlet on

The Slow
En7ergenCe

After all, that is a rather remark
able document. It's immediate effect
was nothing like as important or as
impressive as Emerson's address on
"The American Scholar" but it has
come to have in time significance
equally historic. 1t appeared in Sep
tember, 1855, two months after the
publication of the first edition of the
Leaves of Grass" and from that date
Whitman's career may be said to have
run in two parallel streams. Recog-
milton came to him slowly, and came
mainly from two sources. Emerson
welcomed the new poet in a famous
letter from which Whitman, with what
has been censured as a lack of pro-
priety, extracted a sentence of pro-
phetic praise to print on the cover of
the second edition Of the "Leaves Of
Grass" This was practically the only
authoritative approval Whitman re-
ccived from his contemporaries. Little
as it affected Whitman's general posi-
tion at the time, it was worth all that
the rest of literary America could have
said, and while 1t did not stop the
savage attacks on the book it at least
made the critics aware that their
target was armored.
The recognition Of Whtman's genius
was much more immediate in England
than in America among his peers. The
explanation often given that this was
due to'the expectation among the Eng
lish critics that when an original
New-York tribune., 1919-05-25

purchased by the City Of New York
and in 1907 opened as a public mu-
scum.
To those who follow the rise Of real
estate values in New York the facts that
Stephen Jumel in 1910 paid for the
house and thirty-six acres of ground
surrounding it the sum Of S9,927.50;
that the property was sold for $780,
600 in 1887, and that it cost the city
S235,000 to get possession Of the house
in 1903 may prove of interest.
The next step our bold wayfarer
would make in the course of his Jour.
ney would be at 207th Street and
Broadway, where he would find stand
ing the only real example to be found
in New York (both as to exterior and
interior appearance) Of an eighteenth
century farmhouse.
This structure was erected in 1888
by William Dyckman and remained in
the hands Of the Dyckman family un-
til about forty years ago. The build
ing having become shabby" through
long neglect, plans were recently made
TO dcmolish the structure and erect
Iii its stead a modern apartment house.
To prevent this, two of the descendants
OF the original builder purchased the
property, restored everything in the
house as nearly as possible to its orig
lnal condition and in 1918 presented
the building to the City of New York
to be used as a public park and mu-
scum.
On the grounds there has also been
reconstructed, out of materials taken
from an actual hut unearthed in the
vicinity, an English officers shack.
used during the Revolution at the time
when the British were camped at
Kingsbridge. after the fall of Fort
Washington.
The interior of the Dyckman house
has been arranged with great care. and
much pains have been taken to bring
each room back as near as possible
to it's original appearance in the days
