Allen, James, 1739-1808. **H.94.31
The poem which the town of Boston had voted unanimously to be
published with the late oration; with observations relating there-
to; together with some very pertinent extracts from an ingenious composition never yet published. [Anon.] Boston: E. Russell. 1772. 30 pp. Sm. 4°.
This poem was written to accompany Warren’s 5th of March oration, but as some of the committee had doubts of Allen’s political principles, it was suppressed, and afterwards published in its present form by Allen’s friends. The subject of the first poem is the Boston Massacre; the title of the second, from which extracts are given, is The retrospect.
Several other copies of Allen’s Poem occasioned by the Boston Massacre may be found on shelf-numbers 2353.25,t0.
