Excerpt from The Reformation in France: From the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes to the Incorporation of the Reformed Churches Into the State

This history, the earlier portion of which was narrated in a previous volume, is here brought to its natural conclusion in the Revolution of 1789. That that event was the necessary sequel of the Protestant Reformation has long been recognised, but for reasons easy to be understood it has not been fully and clearly brought out in histories deal ing exclusively with the Reformation in France. Hence a certain sadness and perplexity, as if, after all its terrible struggles, after its long martyrdom of two centuries and a half, the Reformation in France had proved abortive and a failure.
