Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Huguenot Family in the XVI Century: The Memoirs of Philippe Du Mornay, Soeur Du Plessis Marly My hope in offering an English version of this memoir is that it may find a welcome among those to whom a long gone past can still appeal as a living present. In his own day du Plessi´s writings had a wide popularity in English translations; his wife´s book has waited for over three hundred years, and yet her writing has a more enduring human interest. But even a complete French edition of the memoirs, letters and state papers of du Plessi´s was not published before 1824. In 1868 a new and carefully-revised text of the memoir, including a few unpublished family letters and papers, was edited by Mme de Witt for the Sociéte de l´Histoire de France, and my translation has been made from this latter text. The student must still go to the original for he will not find the whole book here, as written by Mlle du Plessis. Up to the year 1590 nothing has been omitted. After that date I have only translated that portion which concerns the de Mornay family, since my object is to reconstruct the history of a family rather than to elucidate the tangle of political and huguenot events after the cessation of civil war.
