The Huguenots of La Rochelle: A Translation of "the Reformed Church of La Rochelle, an Historical Sketch. E-book. Formato PDF - 9780259666769

The wide reputation of the venerable author of this work as a thinker, a scholar, and a theologian, together with a knowledge of the rare opportunity he has had, during his half-century of faithful service as Protestant Pastor at La Rochelle, for collating and weighing facts bearing upon the subject herein treated of, has induced me to believe that a translation of his work into English would prove a valuable contribution to the standard literature of our language relating to the history of the heroic French Huguenots; and I have been more especially led to hope that it would prove of interest to American readers, for the reason that from those of that gallant race who sought a refuge upon our own shores have since sprung many who have reflected renown upon the country of their ancestors' adoption.

A valued personal acquaintance with M. Delmas justifies me in adding a warm tribute to the fairness of his judgment, the broadness of his views, and the sincerity and earnestness of his convictions.
