An account of the fulfillment is given in Webster’s Dictionary, 1869 edition, as follows:- “The Dark Day, May 19, 1780,-so called on account of the remarkable darkness on that day extending all over New England. In some places, persons could not see to read common print in the open air for several hours together... The obscuration began at about ten o’clock in the morning, and continued till the middle of the next night, but with differences of degree and duration in different places. For several days previously the wind had been variable, but chiefly from the southwest and northeast. The true cause of this remarkable phenomenon is not known.”BHB 17.14
