Question: Brilliant viewpoints! . Why of course the Chinese government was entirely to blame for the opium imported by the Scotsmen Jardine and Matheson! It just like when Americans have a cocaine problem, it is the US government, and not the drug smugglers and dealers, that has the responsibility. And if the Chinese folks got addicted to this narcotic, well, it's for their own good you know. At least that's Herman's view. Also, the Scots who thus created Hong Kong for the opium trade did not do all this hard work for money or for themselves. Yes, they did make a little money but that's not why they were in China. They imported opium in order to create Hong Kong so that one day it will become a "premier" commercial city of the Orient, with the ultimate goal of teaching China western financial and economic techniques. If it were not for Jardine and Matheson, how could China have become a great power today, or a candidate superpower tomorrow? No, these two far-sighted Scots had this noble, lofty goal in mind when they came to China, nothing lesss. When historians condemn these two for their "crime" (drug-dealing, that is) they forget that they are actually heroes, as Herman sees so clearly and correctly. And so it is completely unjust that a brilliant people like the Scots don't even have a country they can call their own while the "barbaric" and "decadent" Chinese do

Question: MISREPRESENTATION: This is 1892 Deathbed Edition! . Although the poems are beautiful... and I certainly don't mean to bash Whitman with this 2-star rating... it's the wrong book. NOT AS ADVERTISED. This was supposed to be the original 1855 edition. That's what I expected, and therefore (in my mind) what I was paying for. The original 1855 edition, according to modern literary analysis, was the "strongest/purest" version. It was the true starting point of Whitman's own (and consequently America's) poetic awakening. Consisting of just 12 "perfect" poems, it was THAT edition which Emerson praised so highly. Whitman never put out another book... just revision after revision, addition after addition, and edition after edition of Leaves Of Grass... until you wind up with "the deathbed edition" which is a severely bloated and different work from the original. I was very much looking forward to a slender volume of the original edition. Which is what the item description says this is. It's not. Be forewarned... it's the Deathbed Edition of 1892... nearly 500 pages. And frankly, there are MUCH better versions of the deathbed edition. Sturdier versions with nicer pages exist (this is a pretty weak paperback, printed on pulp pages), with better footnotes and more authoritive introductions. Shop around. To sum up... the 2 star rating is because lying about which edition this is, is a terrible way to sell the book. Whitman was fantastic and the poetry contained in the book itself is first rate. It just would have been nice to get what I paid for. The "true" editon, written by a YOUNG Whitman at the height of his powers..
