Conway, Moncure D. "Walt Whitman." Fortnightly Review 6 (15 October 1866), 538-48. Reprinted: 1866; 1882. [Whitman offers "the most interesting illustration" of the current oriental tendency in American letters. Emerson's response to Whitman is explained. Much of Leaves may repulse the ordinary mind, but from such matter American thought must be built. Conway's first meeting with Whitman is recalled: his appearance, anecdotes, biographical sketch, war work (serving over a hundred thousand men). "Captain," a touching dirge for "his warm friend and admirer," Lincoln, is printed.]
