The Wonder of wonders! or, The wonderful appearance of an angel, devil, and ghost, to a gentleman in the town of Boston, in the nights of the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth of October, 1774 : To whom, in some measure, may be attributed the distresses that have of late fallen upon that unhappy metropolis; related to one of his neighbors the morning after the last visitation, who wrote down the narrative from the gentleman's own mouth; and it is now made public at his desire, as a solemn warning to all those, who, for the sake of agrandizing [sic] themselves and their families, would entail the most abject wretchedness upon millions of their fellow-creatures.
