To wit: Be it remembered That on the 19th day of May, anno Domini, 1891, Walt Whitman, of Camden, N. J., has deposited in this office the title of a Book, the title or description of which is in the following words, to wit: GOOD-BYE MY FANCY, The right whereof he claims as author, in conformity with the laws of the United States respecting copyrights. A. R. SPOFFord, Librarian of Congress. [Which last-named copyright (holding good to 1919-then, on application, continued 14 years further) expires May 19, 1933.] As there are now several editions of L. of G., different texts and dates, I wish to say that I prefer and recommend this present one, complete, for future printing, if there should be any; a copy and fac-simile, indeed, of the text of these 438 pages. The subsequent adjusting interval which is so important to form'd and launch'd work, books especially, has pass'd; and waiting till fully after that, I have given (pages 423-438) my concluding words.
