ABSTRACT

Unsigned review, Examiner (London, 1857). Included in Imprints, pp. 45–7.

The interest of this review lies perhaps principally in the comparison between Whitman and Martin Tupper (1810–89), the author of Proverbial Philosophy. But the reviewer also appears to feel that he has scored ‘a very palpable hit’ in his satire of Whitman’s ‘catalogues’.
