Excerpt from After All, Not to Create Only: Recited by Walt Whitman, on Invitation of Managers American Institute, on Opening Their 40th Annual Exhibition, New York, Noon, September 7, 1871 Dear Sir, - Aware of the kindly and generous interest you take in the welfare and progress of the American Institute, the Board of Managers of the 40 th National Industrial Exhibition have instructed us to solicit of you the honor of a Poem on the occasion of its Opening, Sept.7, 1871 with the privilege of furnishing proofs of the same to the metropolitan press for publication with the other proceedings. The invitation as above was promptly accepted. It may be proper to say that the American Institute, organized about forty years ago, for developing, perfecting, and exemplifying Mechanical, Farming, Inventive, Scientific, and Art interests in the United States, holds every fall a National Exhibition, or Pair, in New York, where the results of its labors in these departments are collected, and are visited and examined by many thousands of people. It was to formally inaugurate the 40th of these Fairs, that "After all, Not to Create only," was recited. The actual scene is eminently practical, modern, and comprehensive. Engines, machinery, and apparatus of all kinds, musical and philosophical instruments, sculpture, casts, minerals, woollen, cotton and linen goods, fertilizers, the latest farm and household implements, and all improved products of the soil, form but a part of one of these Exhibitions, and of the basis afforded by it to the Philosopher, the Political Economist, or the Poet.
