Small, Maynard & Company, Boston, 1898. Condition: Good. First edition. Hinges slightly cracked, small label removed from front pastedown. Interior clean with no markings. Red cloth with a small splash mark on the spine and lower two corners, strip of fading across the top of back cover First trade edition after the limited edition of 60 copies. 2nd issue, with the title page a cancel and the publisher's device centered on the title-page. BAL 21448; Myerson A15.1.b.2. Note that Myerson has apparently confused the distinction between the first and second issues by adding a note under the first issue explaining that the title page was corrected and replaced after only a very few copies--which would be the second issue, not the first, since there is no other difference With plates of Whitman and his mother.
