Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Admiral Coligny, Vol. 1: And the Rise of the Huguenots This work is something more than a biography: the reader may find it nothing less than a history. It may be both, and still preserve the unity of design and of method. In general, the acts of a people are but the deeds of its representative men. This is especially true of the Huguenots during the periods herein treated. Amid the distractions of persecution and war they did not - they could not - act so much in a body, or as a Reformed Church, as through their leaders. Their representatives made for them their history. To form a correct idea of that peculiar people, to whom a distinctive character has always been attributed, it is not necessary to portray the life of every earnest actor nor the development of every particular Church. This would give us too much sameness. So of the various persecutions: there is a horrible monotony of details in them all. The trial and execution of one martyr are quite like those of another; therefore martyrologies grow tedious. The butchery in one village is frightfully similar to that in another. Hence the history must be eclectic. It may be seen in the record of a few lives, a few churches, a few persecutions. Even their enemies act monotonously; their frequent edicts run in almost the same mould; they constantly repeat their deeds of violence. My aim has been to select what is representative, or give fair specimens of life and endurance. One man occupies the central position. Upon Admiral Coligny almost the entire history hangs.
