Notes
This anti-slavery poem evidently sold well enough that Toulmin soon proposed publishing a collection of his verse (1803.057); as no copy of that offered work is known, either by direct or indirect evidence, that collection was apparently never issued. Sheet lacks colophon; while text indicates place of publication, there were two press offices operating in Lexington in 1803 (those of Samuel Walkup and John McMullin), hence the indeterminate attribution here.
