The Huguenots in France
Samuel Smiles, best known for Self-Help, wrote The Huguenots in France as a sequel to his earlier history of the Huguenot refugees in England and Ireland. Here he turns to those who stayed behind after Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes in 1685: Protestants who worshiped in secret in the Church of the Desert, the Camisard rebels of the Cévennes, the pastors hunted and hanged, the men sent to the galleys and the women locked in prison towers, until toleration slowly returned. This edition adds short memoirs of distinguished refugees, and the book closes with an account of Smiles's own visit to the Vaudois valleys of Piedmont. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
