Edes, 1769
Other · 1 page
A single-page printed broadside poem from Boston, 1769, celebrating public spinning demonstrations in the city. It praises spinners and industry and frugality, and attacks British trade policy and Parliament, reflecting colonial non-importation sentiment before the Revolution. It contains no technical weaving or spinning instruction.
