Content:
A manuscript for a portion of Whitman's essay "George Fox and Shakspere," which first appeared as the final piece in "November Boughs" (1888) and was later reprinted in
Complete Prose Works
(1892). In the essay, Whitman compares Fox, the founder of the Quaker movement, and Shakespeare, noting that both were "born and bred of similar stock, in much the same surroundings and station of life from the same England—and at a similar period."
