Book excerpt: Excerpt from Visits to Walt Whitman in 1890-1891 The little volume entitled A Visit to Walt Whitman and some of his friends in 1890, by John Johnston, M.D., published in '1898 and well known to subsequent students of Whitman, though often asked for, has been long out of print. Its contents are here presented to the public anew. This portion of the present volume was originally written without any thought of publication, and consists of Diary Notes written - immediately after the interviews they report - for a small group of friends. At their request they were afterwards printed in pamphlet form for private circulation, and a copy was sent to Whitman. He endorsed it very heartily, l and sent us a list of his friends to whom he wished copies to be sent. The demand for copies led eventually to a complete publication of the Notes, and they were printed as originally written, with the expressed hope that Whatever they may lack in literary form, they may present, in the most direct and perfect manner possible, the actual impressions of the time.
