Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral

Phillis Wheatley · 1773

Year established 2026-08-14 from the colophon in the Standard Ebooks repository on disk, which reads 'Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral was published in 1773 by Phillis Wheatley' (src/epub/text/colophon.xhtml). The volume's own title page carries no date, and the source cited below is that repository rather than a printing. The edition names two Internet Archive scans, poemsonvarioussu273whea and poemsofphilliswh00whea_1; neither was fetched or read here, so neither is listed as a source and the year rests on the Standard Ebooks statement alone. Reading either scan's title page would settle it against the printing.
