Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Sufferings of the Church in Brittany: During the Great Revolution The history of Revolution in France which by the length of its duration and the magnitude of its results obtained for itself the title of Great - subsequent convulsions being but its product and outcome - has been written repeatedly and in abundant detail. Its salient features are well known, comprising in particular the hideous atrocities which have made the Reign of Terror infamous for all time - the daily holocausts of victims to the guillotine at Paris, the horrors perpetrated by Carrier at Nantes, by Le Bon at Amiens, by Couthon at Lyons - and including also the memorable Vendean War, to which Mme. de La Rochejacquelein´s narrative has given so personal an interest. No reader of that history can be ignorant of the fact that the Church was cruelly persecuted, and that for a certain period, at least, the public worship of God was abolished throughout the land. For if the massacre of the Carmes testified to the intensity of the hatred with which a bloodthirsty faction was inflamed against men whose only crime was their sacred profession, the continued influx of emigrant clergy into this country gave evident proof that the proscription of the priesthood was due to no mere temporary ebullition of revolutionary fury.
