The Huguenots in France and America, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by Hannah Farnham Sawyer Lee Pdf

Excerpt from The Huguenots in France and America, Vol. 1 of 2 The Memoir of the family of La Fontaine, pub lished in New York, and translated by one of the descendants, finds no corresponding memoir in this country. Yet there are enough records left to prove, that a similar noble spirit animated the Huguenots in America. From this most interesting manuscript, I have been permitted to extract the following pas sage not inserted in the printed edition. I give part of it in the old French, that the arduous work of the translator may be appreciated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

History of the Rise of the Huguenots, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by Henry Martyn Baird Pdf

Excerpt from History of the Rise of the Huguenots, Vol. 1 of 2 The period of about half a century with which these volumes are concerned may properly be regarded as the formative age of the Huguenots of France. It included the first planting of the reformed doctrines, and the steady growth of the Reformation in spite of obloquy and persecution, whether exercised under the forms of law or vented in lawless violence. It saw the gathering and the regular organization of the reformed communities, as well as their consolidation into one of the most orderly and zealous churches of the Protestant family. It witnessed the failure of the bloody legislation of three successive monarchs, and the equally abortive efforts of a fourth monarch to destroy the Huguenots, first with the sword and afterward with the dagger. At the close of this period the faith and resolution of the Huguenots had survived four sanguinary wars into which they had been driven by their implacable enemies. They were just entering upon a fifth war, under favorable auspices, for they had made it manifest to all men that their success depended less upon the lives of leaders, of whom they might be robbed by the hand of the assassin, than upon a conviction of the righteousness of their cause, which no sophistry of their opponents could dissipate.

Henry of Navarre and the Huguenots in France (Classic Reprint) by Paul Ferdinand Willert Pdf

Excerpt from Henry of Navarre and the Huguenots in France Lefevre and his friends did little more than give expression to the general desire that the Church should be reformed from within. They were sup ported by the sympathy of the scholars and men of letters who had long been engaged in a bitter quarrel with the monkish pedants, to whom the system and the maxims of the schoolmen were not less sacred than the cardinal doctrines of the Church. The false renderings, the spurious documents, the historical frauds and obsolete philosophy, on which the Catholic theologians of the day relied, hardly allowed a learned man to be orthodox.

The Huguenots were a group of French Protestants who faced persecution and violence at the hands of the Catholic Church in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Not illustrated. 1843 edition. Excerpt: ...return with life, unless I return free." " Is there nothing, Sire, that you leave behind with regret?" inquired Fervaques, alluding to the ladies of the Court. "But two things," replied Henry, smiling; "the mass, and my wife; the first, I must contrive to do without; my wife, I must see again." It may be doubted, whether one held a much higher place in his esteem than the other. The conduct of Margaret had been such as to alienate her husband, and probably his absence was the thing she most desired, though she complained that he did not take leave of her, she being ill with a cold. In passing through Tours, he made a public profession of the reformed faith, candidly avowing, that he had been present at the mass, and taken other steps, merely to save his life. Navarre immediately held a conference with the Duke of Anjou, and also with the Duke Casimir, son of the Elector Palatine, who had formed a confederacy with the Huguenots. Conde, too, was amongst them, the friend and companion of Navarre, and was now at the head of a large number of brave soldiers. Since his'escape, when arrested with Navarre for an alleged conspiracy, he had been active in uniting the scattered troops. His clear and cool judgment immediately perceived, that the only way to make Monsieur the Duke of Anjou useful to their cause, was to place him in powerful opposition to Henry, and he voluntarily surrendered his command to the Prince. A numerous army, certainly not less than fifty thousand men, were now collected with Navarre, D'Alemjon, and Casimir, as chiefs. When we consider the youth of these generals, the ardor and impetuosity of their characters, the advantage they had gained over the French king, who had neither men nor money, and whose effeminate habits...

The Huguenots by Jane McKee Pdf

In this book, scholars of the Huguenot Refuge examine the situation of French Protestants before and after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in France and in the countries to which many of them fled during the great exodus which followed the Edict of Fontainebleau. Covering a period from the end of the 16th to the beginning of the 19th century, the book examines aspects of life in France, from the debate on church unity to funeral customs. Its primary focus is on the departure from France and its consequences, both before and after the Revocation. It offers insights into individuals and groups, from grandees - such as Henri de Ruvigny, depute general and later known as Earl of Galway - to converted Catholic priests, and from businessmen and communities choosing their destination for economic as well as religious reasons, to women and children moving across European frontiers or groups seeking refuge in the islands of the Indian Ocean. The information-gathering activities of the French authorities and the reception of problematic groups - such as the Camisard prophets among exile communities - are examined, as well as the significant contributions which Huguenots began to make in a variety of fields to the countries in which they had settled. The refugees were extremely interested in the history of their diaspora and of the individuals of which it was composed, and this theme too is explored. Finally, the Napoleonic period brought some of the refugees up against France in a more immediate way, raising further questions of identity and aspiration for the Huguenot community in Germany.

The Huguenots in France by Samuel Smiles Pdf

Excerpt from The Huguenots in France: After the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes; With a Visit to the Country of the Vaudois T the time when the Bourbon Restoration pressed heavily on the shoulders and con sciences of Frenchmen, those who saw young Louis Adolphe Thiers arrive from Provence with nothing in his pocket but a prize essay on Vauvenargues, described him as a youth with a demon of restless ness in his body, and a tongue that wagged like a bell's. A few years later (jan. 1, when the first number of the National appeared, on the most detestable of papers, and with the most ad venturous of staffs, the writer who shared with Auguste Mignet and Armand Carrel the editorial triumvirate, began to take lead in society, and the graphic M. De Lomenie says of him He at tracted curiosity at once by the southern twang of his voice, the smallness of his size, the incom parable vivacity of his speech, and a glance the odd fire of which was heightened by the large.
