The Huguenots in France After the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes: With a Visit to the Country of the Vaudois is a historical book written by Samuel Smiles. The book discusses the plight of the Huguenots, French Protestants, after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. The Edict of Nantes had granted religious freedom to the Huguenots, but its revocation led to their persecution and forced conversion to Catholicism. Smiles delves into the history of the Huguenots and the events leading up to the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. He also describes the experiences of the Huguenots who were forced to flee France and seek refuge in other countries. The book includes personal accounts of Huguenots who were imprisoned, tortured, and killed for their beliefs. Additionally, the book includes a visit by Smiles to the Country of the Vaudois, a region in the Alps where a group of Protestants had lived for centuries. Smiles describes the history and culture of the Vaudois and their struggles to maintain their religious freedom. Overall, The Huguenots in France After the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes: With a Visit to the Country of the Vaudois provides a comprehensive account of the persecution of the Huguenots and their fight for religious freedom in France.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
