In actuality printed in London : for E. and C. Dilly. Evans incorrectly lists this as having been printed in Boston. It contains material omitted from the first and second Boston : Edes and Gill, and T. & J. Fleet, 1770 printings (Adams, T.R. Amer. pamphlets 75a and 75b and Adams, T.R. Brit. pamphlets 70-5a and 70-5b) of A short narrative of the horrid massacre in Boston; it is however included in the third Boston : Edes and Gill, and T. & J. Fleet printing of the work (Adams, T.R. Amer. pamphlets 75c and Adams, T.R. Brit. pamphlets 70-5c). This work was also printed separately. Cf. Adams.

A short narrative of the horrid massacre in Boston was drawn up by a committee consisting of James Bowdoin, Joseph Warren, and Samuel Pemberton near the month of April 1770, who were appointed by the town meeting in Boston on March 12, 1770. A number of issues and permutations of this title exist. For a complete detailed analysis see Adams, T.R. Brit. pamphlets 70-5 and Adams, T.R. Amer. pamphlets, 75.
