Camden's Compliment to Walt Whitman
Judge Garrison's signed copy, 1889
WHITMAN, Walt (1819-1892) – Camden's Compliment to Walt Whitman. Philadelphia: David McKay, 1889.
Whitman's 70th birthday festschrift. This copy annotated by Judge Charles Garrison, and signed by Walt Whitman. Judge Garrison was one of the speech-makers at the event and sat at Whitman's table. The front free endpaper is signed and dated: "Walt Whitman / Dec: 16 '89." Whitman's friend, Charles Garrison, has annotated the volume in pencil in three places. At the end of his own printed speech (which brought Garrison's legal acumen to bear on the notion of "Walt the lawless"), he recorded: "I sat next Walt, or rather one seat off, and as I sat down he said, 'Charles, don't you think that you laid it on pretty thick?" On page 68, Garrison identified his father as one of the contributors of a printed letter. Lastly, he has written a gift inscription dated 1892 on the front free endpaper. Whitman would commend the "extreme kindliness" of the Garrison family to Horace Traubel (With Walt Whitman in Camden, vol. 5, p.291). BAL 21436; Meyerson D17.
Large octavo. Photographic frontispiece. Original maroon cloth, gilt-lettered on front cover, top edge gilt (slight wear to extremities and a small patch on front cover, endleaves toned). Provenance: Charles G. Garrison, New Jersey judge, 1849-1924 (pencil notes) – "W.D" (gift inscription from Garrison dated 2 April 1897).
