Cited in Sheehy and BCL1 (but not BCL3!), BAL is an analytical bibliography that is arranged alphabetically, and lists the works of 281 significant American literary authors from the 18th and 19th centuries, chosen not on the basis of their current reputations, but the extent to which they were known and read in their own time. Volume 9 completes the series (which began publication in 1955), listing the works of 14 authors from Edward Noyes Westcott to Elinor Wylie. The Walt Whitman entry gives the first clear and comprehensive record of the publication history of Leaves of grass. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
