The book con­ tains so much true poetry, so many passages'which stamp their author as a true poet of a high, though certainly not of the highest order, that it is a pity that Mr. Whitman's own good sense has not moved him long ago to cut out the "Children of Adam," words and lines which add nothing at all to the beauty of his work and which cer­ tainly are not structural or vital to it.
