[Says: "It is known that he (Whitman) sold subscriptions to The Long Islander (and) owned a local printing shop. Whether he actually got around to publishing is doubtful. No attic or archive around town has ever yielded a copy, and so the Huntington Historical Society has concluded that he never edited an issue or set type or made sales pitches as an ink-stained street vendor. The society finds further support of its conclusion in the comments of Whitman's successor, who bought his printing press in 1840 and immediately promised to follow a "reliable" schedule of publication." Replies in The Long-Islander, 9 October 1980, include Walt Whitman's chapter in Specimen Days (1882) on "Starting Newspapers," an editorial on "Whitman and His Newspaper," and three Whitman pieces reprinted from The Long Islander in 1838.]

[Although Whitman is in the title, quoted and mentioned in the preface, "Thoreau's Critchicrotches," the pamphlet is a scholarly and scientific discussion of the calamus plant: taxonomy, geographic distribution, exology, historical, chemistry, pharmocology, other utilization, plant morphology, and microscopy. There is also a seven-page bibliography. Dr. Weberbee writes me that he has "read so many literary pieces on Walt Whitman and calamus that obviously show that the writers were totally unfamiliar with the plant." Thus this botanical monograph, available free from the Lyon Arboretum, 3860 Manoa Road, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822, should be of great value and interest to them.]
