Place of Publication:
[Ephrata, Pa.] : Gedruckt für Jacob Schweitzer, bey J. Bauman, in Ephrata., 1825..
Notes:
A mystical folk tale arranged as a poetic work in 47 verses, and treated as a hymn. For discussion of this milieu, cf. Tolzmann, D.H. German-Amer. lit., p. 8-17.
Tune from caption: Mel[odie:] Ihr Sünder kom[m]t ge[gangen].
"46. Gedruckt und publicirt im Jahr, da wahre Buss von Nöthen war. 1783. 47. Und weil's richtig gut erkant war, wurd's neugedruckt in diesem Jahr. 1825"--"Colophon" on p. [7]. The 1783 ed. appeared as a broadside, without place of publication or name of publisher; cf. Evans 18041.
On p. [8], three ill.: cherub design, with printed signature: Durouchail f. ; house flanked by trees; and stylized ill. of children reading. Durouchail was almost certainly the French wood-engraver Pierre Durouchail, who designed type ornaments; cf. BN Inventaire du fonds français après 1800, VII, p. 262-263.
Signatures: n[superscript 4].
