Publication
Note
  • Part of the library digital collection of Early American Imprints, Series I: Evans, 1639-1800
  • Verse in nineteen stanzas; first line: Adieu to wanton jests, both false and vain
  • Text in two columns; relief cut of an execution (Reilly 1179) at head
  • Recorded twice by Bristol, among imprints for 1764 and 1773 respectively. In the latter entry, Bristol followed Ford in inferring 1773 as date of publication from the publication in that year of another broadside with the same relief cut (A Solemn farewell to Levi Ames, Boston : printed and sold at Draper's printing-office, in Newbury-Street; Shipton & Mooney 42506). The cut, however, seems to have been in use as early as 1734; see A Mournful poem on the death of John Ormsby and Matthew Cushing (Shipton & Mooney 40054)
