Leaves of Grass with Sands at Seventy and A Backward Glance o'er Travel'd Roads.
To-day, after finishing my 70th year, the fancy comes for celebrating it by a special, complete, final utterance, in one handy volume, of L. of G., with their Annex, and Backward Glance—and for stamping and sprinkling all with portraits and facial photos, such as they actually were, taken from life, different stages. Doubtless, anyhow, the volume is more a Person than a book. And for testimony to all (and for good measure) I here with pen and ink append my name: Walt Whitman. Portraits from Life; autograph; special edition. (300 copies only printed—$5 each.)
