Excerpt from Walt Whitman, the Poet of Democracy
Tms little work is a reprint, with considerable alterations and additions, of three articles which appeared in The Australian Herald about a year ago, shortly after Whitman's death. It aims in the first place at a portrayal of the man, and, after that, at a vindication of the poet and his message. Whitman's faults, chie¿y of literary execution, are, like his merits, great; but as they are so very obvious and have so often been expatiated upon, I have done little more than allude to them. What is ex cellent in him completely overshadows what is defective; and what that excellence is, I have, in what follows, imperfectly tried to indicate.
