Content:
A manuscript fragment composed on the verso of a page of a program or journal of the American Social Sciences Association, dated 1883–1884. This manuscript appears to be a draft fragment of "A Backward Glance O'er Travel'd Roads," the introductory essay which first appeared in
November Boughs
(1888). "A Backward Glance O'er Travel'd roads" became the closing essay for
Leaves of Grass
, appearing in both the 1889 and 1892 printings of that work.
