Downloads of raw LG and reviews files added

I created a zip archive of each of the Leaves of Grass texts and a single zip archive of the 210 reviews files. These are now available from the Downloads page (http://whitmanarchive.org/downloads/index.html), the design of which I have tweaked to accord with similar pages on the site.

Two Reviews from the National Anti-Slavery Standard Added

I have encoded and added two previously unnoticed reviews of works by Whitman that appeared in the National Anti-Slavery Standard in 1856 and 1868 respectively: http://whitmanarchive.org/criticism/reviews/leaves1855/anc.00338.html, http://whitmanarchive.org/criticism/reviews/poems/anc.00339.html . The reviews were brought to our attention by Ezra Greenspan.
