Duodecimo, brown cloth, title stamped on gold ground on front cover, title, contents, iv, pp. 5-72.
But few copies had been issued when the death of President Lincoln occurred and the author withheld the balance until a few weeks later when he added "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd and other Pieces," with pagination distinct from that of Drum-Taps, as a sequel. This and the "Sequel" formed the first and second annexes to the fourth edition, 1867, of Leaves of Grass, and were later incorporated in the Washington, 1871 edition under the title of Drum-Taps. Copies without the "sequel" are exceedingly scarce.

Duodecimo, pp. 24.
It is doubtful if any copies reached the market other than those issued as a part of Drum-Taps. The remaining copies were bound up with second issue of the 1867 edition.

Duodecimo, yellow cloth, facsimile signature stamped in gilt on front cover; title, contents, pp. 382. This edition was suppressed by District Attorney Stevens on complaint of the Society for the Suppression of Vice. The unbound copies were claimed by the author who inserted a new title-page. The plates were turned over to Rees, Welsh and Company. Later they were given to David McKay, who issued several editions bearing the dates of 1884, 1885, 1886. There is also an edition from these plates with McKay's imprint and Putnam's name on the binding.
Octavo, olive cloth, uncut; title, contents, pp. 382. The collation being the same as that of the Boston, 1881 edition it is possible that Bogue purchased the sheets from Osgood or Whitman and bound the book to his own tastes.
