WE whose Names are under-written, do assure the
World, that the POEMS specified in the following Page,*
were (as we verily believe) written by Phillis, a young
Negro Girl, who was but a few Years since, brought an
uncultivated Barbarian from Africa, and has ever since
been, and now is, under the Disadvantage of serving as
a Slave in a Family in this Town. She has been examin-
ed by some of the best Judges, and is thought qualified
to write them.
