* Michael Wigglesworth, "The Day of Doom or a Poetical Description of the Great and Last Judgment", a "doggerel epitome of Calvinistic theology", according to the anthology, "Colonial Prose and Poetry" (1903), that "attained immediately a phenomenal popularity. Eighteen hundred copies were sold within a year, and for the next century it held a secure place in [New England] Puritan households. As late as 1828 it was stated that many aged persons were still alive who could repeat it, as it had been taught them with their catechism; and the more widely one reads in the voluminous sermons of that generation, the more fair will its representation of prevailing theology in New England appear."Trent, William P. and Wells, Benjamin W., "Colonial Prose and Poetry: The Beginnings of Americanism 1650-1710", New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Co., 1903 single-volume edition, pp 47-48]
