An Ode by J. R Toulmin.

• imprint_number: 1803.056
• title: An ode. By J. R Toulmin. Oh! cruel fate, that man should be doomed to abject slavery … Lexington. May 7. 1803 …
• sequence_number: 56
• year: 1803
• place_issued: Lexington
• issuing_press: Uncertain
• author: Toulmin, J. R.
• 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.
