(For exact quote in note see form.)" [NAME] comments on this copy: In reading some material related to WD O'Connor, I came across something to add to the entry on the [NAME] copy of the 1855 in [NAME]. In a manuscript memoir at the LC (and published in Florence [NAME] WILLIAM DOUGLAS O'CONNOR), [NAME] ([NAME]) Tarr Channing (wife of [NAME]) writes: I was spending the summer of 1855 with my friend Mrs. [NAME]. A letter from a Boston friend said, "I met Mr. [NAME] the other day and almost his first words were 'Have you read the new poet?' I did not know of any new poet. He told me a man by the name of Whitman had sent him a most wonderful book. 'Get it at once and read it' he said; 'it is a revelation.' He was so enthusiastic in their praise and <illegible> that I have got a copy; I think you and Mrs. [NAME] will be interested in it." We were interested in trying to discover what had so profoundly impressed Mr. [NAME], but did not greatly care for it ourselves. This was the very copy of [NAME] poems that Mr. [NAME] first saw and read. So I went looking to try to figure out why Channing was living with [NAME]. It turns out that Channing had gone to Providence to help [NAME] plan the Sixth National Woman's Rights Convention. Presumably WF Channing bought the book at the Old Corner Bookstore at her request and sent it to Providence. The copy likely would have been given to O'Connor and [NAME] (Channing's sister--Nelly O'Connor) on September 19 or 20 when both were in Boston from Philadelphia for the convention. Emerson delivered the closing remarks, and several other people we can confirm later read the book were also there. Notably, [NAME] in 1856 writes to her husband that [NAME]'s husband, [NAME], thought the book was "full of new & beautiful thought." I think it's also worth mentioning that the convention in 1854 began on June 9--the day that [NAME] was arrested. This was why [NAME] and the rest were all in Boston to participate in the assault on the courthouse where [NAME] was held. I just wonder if having the convention one year dissolve into an anti-slavery riot doesn't increase the chances that everyone the next year is discussing a new book that includes a poem condemning the [NAME] arrest. And the chances grow significantly when you consider that Emerson is on hand. [NAME] doesn't like LG, but her husband [NAME] does. [NAME] doesn't likes the book, but her sister does. And so on.

Palgrave/Frederick Locker/John and [NAME] | Inscriptions, etc.: Title page: Ownership inscription of "F.T. Palgrave/1857" Front Pastedown: tipped in address from envelope with red-orange U.S. 2-cent stamp (portrait of [NAME]?): "[NAME] Street/Belgrave Square/London England/SW" Front pastedown: leather booklabel of [NAME] and [NAME] (from whom the book came to Johns Hopkins University) Front pastedown and front free endpaper: Remnants of at least two other tipped-in items, at least one of which was probably a dealer's description. Front free endpaper, verso: Inscription: "F.Locker/From F.T. Palgrave/June 1868/This is the original first/edition, printed by the/hand of the Yankee/[illegible] himself." The illegile word looks like : Tappse or Fuppse or Foppse or something like. Recto of frontispiece: Printed label, pasted on: "Locker---Mr. [NAME], 25, [NAME], S.W., is a director of the/Hand-in-Hand Insurance Society." Paper: Frequent "vatman's tears" throughout (all very small) A (presumably accidental) watermark at pp. 77-78; possibly caused by a piece of string or other fiber falling onto the web of the papermaking machine? Looks like a squiggle, thus: [drawn squiggle] "Deckle edge" at tail of pp. 19-20 and 21-22. Seam mark [from the seam in the belt(?) of the papermaking machine] in pp. 19-20 and 21-22, perpendicular to the spine, about half way down the page. Printing evidence: No obvious "gripper marks": i.e., small indentations usually at the foredge of certain pages, which indicate the use of a particular type of printing press. The sewing threads appear to be fairly visible, so that this might be an easy copy to collate. I did not perform a collation, although one may not be able to assume that all copies would collate the same. I suspect it might be worth knowing whether the sheets were imposed for folding as if in quarto or as if in folio. Reading evidence: A few minimal pencil reader's markings in the margins, mostly lines and one cross or plus symbol; occasional underlining. May not be possible to date; could be twentieth-century. Binding evidence: No obvious sewer's mark [usually occurs in the gutter toward the end of some nineteenth-century books, indicative of counting up piece-work for payment of the person who sewed the gatherings.] Other relevant materials in the collection: The Garrett Library also holds (separately) a collection of [NAME] items, most if not all of which were originally sent by Whitman to [NAME] or otherwise gathered by Dowden, and which then passed through the possession of Revere Osler and/or Sir [NAME]: 1. Envelope containing address portion of envelopes addressed by [NAME] to [NAME], plus an autographed photo of WW 2. Envelope containing early prospectus and reviews of Leaves of Grass: possibly referring to the first edition 3. Bound volume containing Whitman proof sheets, &c. 1871-87. 4. Bound volume containing appearances and references to Whitman in magazines, &c., 1862-1907 5. Bound volume containing Scottish Art Review for June 1889 with Rhys's article on the photographic portraits of Whitman 6. Bound volume containing newspaper cuttings and reviews of WHitman, 1866-1892 The envelope listed as no. 2 above contains three items which I assume are relevant to the 1855 Leaves, and may possibly have been removed from the front endleaves of our copy at some point (the tears at the top of the items look like they resulted from someone carelessly removing something that was tipped into a book; I have not attempted to do quasi-facsimile transcription): 1. "[Torn - word missing] States review./Walt Whitman [torn - word missing] Poems." n.d. First line: "An American bard at last! One of the roughs, large, proud, affectionate,," 81.5 x 13.8 cm. I'm assuming this refers to the 1855 edition. 2. "From the Brooklyn Daily Times/Walt Whitman, A Brooklyn Boy. [Torn: Leaves] of [NAME]: (a volume of Poems, just publis[hed])" n.d. First line: "T[torn: missing]dgement on real poems, one needs an account of [torn: missing]et himself Very" 18 cm x 11.5 cm 3. "From the American Phrenological Journal."

This last copy was once owned by P.T. Palgrave, who presented it to [NAME]." Handwritten in pencil above this clipping in pencil is "Kern sale." Also, at the top of the page, in the upper right hand corner, written in pencil is the notation: "#3224D" or "#3004D." NOTE: The provenance information provided by this clipping may not pertain to this copy mainly because there is no clear evidence, while another copy with the same provenance is full of such evidence. The Nebraska copy is not inscribed by Palgrave or Locker. There is a bookplate bearing the initials “FT,” which could be significant. But the Johns Hopkins copy, which has the same biography as the one given for the Nebraska copy, is full of inscriptions that prove its past ownership. Palgrave inscribed the Hopkins copy upon his purchase of the book in 1857, and then again when he gave it to Locker. The bookplate and address of [NAME] are pasted into the [NAME] copy. Palgrave’s bookplate is not pasted into the [NAME] copy, so there is no image for comparison with the Nebraska copy. The lack of markings in the Nebraska copy as well as the presence of a bookplate that is absent in the thoroughly inscribed Hopkins copy, not to mention the mistaking of "P.T." for "F.T.", make the Nebraska copy’s supposed ownership dubious.

[NAME]'s own desk copy, containing galley proofs of Whitman's reviews of the edition. It also contains an excessively rare leaflet printing of Emerson's letter, with the note: "Copy for the convenience of private reading only" The marble end-papers are one of the points of the first issue." 3) There several inscriptions in the text. A) At the top of the "preface" page (it would be p. iii, but it is not numbered in this text---it is the first page of the preface directly across from the copyright page) there is an inscription from [NAME] which reads: Tho. D. Smith/Presented by the Author/Brooklyn N.Y., 1855/Walt Whitman B)On the title page of the work, where the title "Leaves of Grass" is printed, there is an inscription in the top right corner that has been erased (there is information about this in an enclosed letter---see below). [NAME] the inside flyleaf, on the right side, there is an inscription listing the additional contents of this edition (i.e., those parts included that were not part of the original). This list reads as follows (it looks like it might have been written by a subsequent owner???)Obituary---Unknown, Nov 07th/Brooklyn Daily Times/Putnam's Monthly/Am, Philological Journal/United States Review/Ralph Waldo Emerson/& second autograph mysteriously missing---from the fly leaves of this volume---which was handed to the writer on his departure for the West in 1855---This copy being the last of the editions, and from his table. D)On the opposite flyleaf, a piece of paper with a selection from the poem has been pasted. The handwritten selection is signed "[NAME]" but I'm not sure if [NAME] wrote this or someone copied out the verse and signed it [NAME] by way of attribution. The selection is as follows: Animals/I think I could turn and live with animals, the are so plain/ and self-confident,/I stand and look at them long and long./They do not sweat and whine about their condition,/They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,/They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,/When one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania/of owning things,/Not one kneels to another nor to his kind that lived a thousand/years ago/No one is respectable or unhappy over the whole earth./-Walt Whitman E) Finally, there is a letter pasted into this edition that provides information about its provenance---this letter identifies this copy as Whitman's original desk copy that was given as a gift to [NAME] in 1855. A transcription of the handwritten letter follows below: Nov. 18 1931 My Dear Mr. Holloway,/You asked for some history of my Leaves of [NAME] and I find myself rather vague as to my personal knowledge of it as I inherited it---receiving of the personal effects of my son and only child. My father-in-law, (name unclear---it looks like "[NAME]"???), a bookman in Brooklyn in 1855 was an intimate friend of [NAME] and on the occasion of his paying the poet a farewell visit before leaving Brooklyn, [NAME] took the book from is desk and presented it as a parting gift. Note is made of the incident on a front page---I do not know who wrote the inscription nor do I know who erased it, but my father-in-law prized the book and told me it would be valuable. [NAME]'s written comment would indicate that he felt someone had tampered with it---some papers & autographs are missing, but he never criticized (?---handwriting unclear) it to me. It would seem likely that the newspaper clippings had been paste in by [NAME] as it was his desk copy. I am truly sorry that I cannot give you a more lucid account of it---it was before my time. The death of both my husband and son have closed the family record as they were the last of their race. If you wish to send this with the book for inspection, do so and I hope it may prove useful./ [NAME] (?---Handwriting unclear)Smith.
