Excerpt from The Huguenots in the Seventeenth Century: Including the History of the Edict of Nantes, From Its Enactment in 1598 to Its Revocation in 1685 Most historians, whilst dilating on the events and character Of the reign of Louis XIV., - his administra tion, his court, his conquests, the halo Of wit and learning which encircled his throne, - have little to say of the Huguenots. This is one of the many instances in which History has mistaken her true Object. The persecution of the Huguenots is the one great event Of Louis' reign, considered not only in regard to the magnitude of the crime, but also of the effects which resulted from it, both at the time and in every succeeding generation down to the present hour. It is proposed to continue the history in a second volume, in which the Camisard war, with the causes which immediately led to it and the state Of prostra tion which ensued, will be considered; together with the happy restoration of the French Protestant Church, mainly through the ministry Of Antoine Court. The Author desires to express his gratitude for the assistance he has received from a friend, to whose labour, sympathy, and judgment he has been largely indebted in the preparation Of the work.
