An Address to the inhabitants of Boston, (particulary [sic] to the thoughtless youth:) : occasioned by the execution of Levi Ames, who so early in life, as not 22 years of age, must quit the stage of action in this awful manner. He was tried for burglary on the 7th of September, and after a fair and impartial examination of facts, the jury went out but soon return'd, who upon their oaths pronounc'd him guilty.
