Verse in twenty-two numbered stanzas; first lines: Let us adore, and bow before, the sovereign Lord of might.
The darkness which extended over much of New England was presumably the result of smoke and ashes from a forest fire, trapped in the atmosphere by excessive moisture. Cf. Bumgardner, G.B. American broadsides, 1971, no. 57.
The Vermont freeman, Montpelier, Vt., commenced publication on Nov. 11, 1842, and was continued by the Green-mountain freeman which commenced Jan. 6, 1844, and ceased in 1885. The Freemen's press, Montpelier, Vt. was published from 1809 to 1812, however, typography suggests that this broadside is not the issue of the earlier press.
Text in two columns; printed area, including ornamental border, measures 21.2 x 13.3 cm.
