From Zurich we have recently received a volume of excellent translations out of "Leaves of Grass;" in Paris M. Sarrazin has brought out in book form one of the best estimates of Whitman yet published ; while from all parts of Great Britain, ' he is ever and anon receiving letters of heartfelt acknowledge ment. Doubtless the rapidity and extent of the circulation of "Leaves of Grass" in Great Britain are partly due to the ap- pearance there of clipped editions. Whitman's revolutionary doctrine o...f the body would otherwise have made the diffusion of his works nearly as slow there as here.
