The American hero: a Sapphick ode
by Nath. Niles, A.M. Pages [1] and [4] blank. At end of text: Norwich, (Connecticut) October--1775. Poem in 15 numbered four-line stanzas. Despite date and place on item, R.A. Crawford in "Andrew Law, American psalmodist" (Evanston, 1968) convincingly ascribes its printing to William Law at Cheshire in 1781; Law's brother Andrew may have composed the tune; Evans with date of 1775 had supplied "Green and Spooner" of Norwich, Conn. as printers.
