Excerpt from Martin's History of France, Vol. 1: The Age of Louis XIV The Age of Louis XI V., which is published first by the trans lator, may interest the American reader above all by contrast. Louis the Great was the great adversary with which that Protes tant liberty, from which America was born, had to contend. The author of the History Of France, who professes principles quite opposite to those Of the ancient regime and the Old French Mon archy, has set forth, with all the impartiality in his power, the lustre and greatness of this monarchy, and the brilliant society Of which it was for some time the nucleus; but, the more resplendent were men and things, the more decisive is the conclusion, since all this glory ended only in one vast ruin. The principles Of Louis XIV. And Bossuet, the principles Of political and religious absolutism, are irrevocably condemned.
