| General note | Half-title: An account of the French prophets, with others of the like spirit. |
| General note | Variously attributed to Charles Chauncy, Benjamin Colman and Ezra Stiles. Chauncy denies knowledge of its authorship in correspondence reprinted in: New England historical and genealogical register 10 (October, 1856): 334. |
| General note | The appendix, apparently by another hand (Charles Chauncy's?), is signed: Anti-Enthusiasticus. See Gaustad, E.S. "Charles Chauncy and the Great Awakening" in Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America 45 (1951): 125-135. Gaustad suggests Chauncy Whittelsey as author of the Wonderful narrative. |
