Errors corrected on periodical page for "Once a Week"

Ed had noticed a discrepancy in our wording about the publication dates of Whitman's poems published in Once a Week in the late 1890s. We had incorrectly stated that all three poems published in that periodical were published within months of Whitman's death in March 1892. Only one poem, "A Thought of Columbus," was published in 1892. The two other poems, "On, On the Same Ye Jocund Twain" and "Unseen Buds," had appeared in June of 1891. We have corrected the wording to reflect this, more clearly laying out the chronology of Whitman's poems published in Once a Week. The page can be seen here.

Small correction to Complete Prose Works (1892)

I noticed that the head for "Friendship, (The Real Article)" on p. 333 lacked parentheses, so I have supplied them.

Typo in Complete Prose Works corrected

I happened to notice that, in our transcription of Complete Prose Works, the heading for "Dough-Face Song" had a superfluous "d" ("Dough-Faced Song"). I have removed it.

Typos in 1855 LG fixed; downloadable LG files updated

User Gregory Murray noted that our transcription of the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass had, in two places, a superfluous space between a hyphen and the second element of a compound word. Further, he pointed out that the version of that file in the Downloads section of the Archive had not been updated to reflect the corrections he had pointed out several weeks ago. I corrected the typos and updated all of the Leaves files in the Downloads section, since the files for other editions were likewise out of sync.

Updated search page note to user

I updated the note to the user included on the Whitman Archive search page to indicate that the custom Google search for the site is currently returning incomplete results.  We are currently working to update the search across the site.  Until we are able to roll out the new search, users should do a full-site search on Google (www.google.com) by entering: site:whitmanarchive.org "your search term" to obtain complete results.

Corrected note in "Letters from a Travelling Bachelor"

Jason Stacy noticed that one of the 14 October 1849 "Letters from a Travelling Bachelor" contained a note with the same erroneous information about porgies that we recently corrected in the "Letters from Paumanok" essay. He rewrote the note and I swapped it into the file.
