Notes AAS notes:
Verse in sixty-eight stanzas; first lines: When the bright monarch of the day withdrew from human sight.
Earlier editions are "By Dr. Watts."
The attribution to Isaac Watts is doubtful. Cf. Johnson, H.A. New London imprints, p. 167-170. The attribution to Jemima Wilkinson is also doubtful; editions of the text predate her religious conversion in 1775-76.
Text in three columns; printed area measures 46.7 x 21.5 cm.
American Antiquarian Society has second copy with, on sheet measuring 51 x 60 cm., intended to be separated: A Wonderful discovery of a hermit, who lived upwards of 200 years. [United States, 1816?], [and] Hard times [United States, 1816?].
