WHITMAN, Walt (1819-1892). November Boughs. Philadelphia: David McKay, 1888 [but 1891].

8vo (9 1/2 x 6 3/8 in.). One portrait in text; one page advertisements at end. Original green cloth gilt, beveled boards uncut (upper hinge starting, a touch of wear to spine ends, spine slightly dulled, a few tiny bubbles to upper cover). Provenance: "V" (decorated bookplate).

FIRST EDITION, third printing, comprising the sheets of 400 copies printed in May 1891 to be bound with Good Bye My Fancy. The project was never completed due to Whitman's ill health, and "it seems probable...that after Whitman's death his executors had these sheets and the remainder of Good Bye My Fancy bound in uniform, but separate, binding" (BAL 21430).
