Transcription error fixed in three reviews

I have corrected a transcription error that was pointed out to us by a Whitman Archive user and that we were able to trace to three separate reviews of Two Rivulets:

http://www.whitmanarchive.org/criticism/reviews/rivulets/anc.00201.html
http://www.whitmanarchive.org/criticism/reviews/rivulets/anc.00203.html
http://www.whitmanarchive.org/criticism/reviews/rivulets/anc.00200.html

In each case, there was a typo in the fifth line of the poem "The Beauty of the Ship," and I corrected "at least the beauty" to read "at last the beauty."

Criticism and bibliography pages updated

Ed pointed out that the Criticism index page and the Bibliography search page indicated that the bibliography included criticism only from 1975 to the present. Since we've incorporated the Giantvalley entries, the bibliography actually includes criticism from 1838 to the present. I've updated the date here and here.

Liverpool Central Library Finding Guided added

I've added a finding guide for the Liverpool Central Library to the Archive. The guide is available linked from Finding Aids for Manuscripts at Individual Repositories and directly here. I've also revised the Contributors' Contact Information page to include information for the Liverpool Central Library.
