Description
Excerpt from The Massacre of St. Bartholomew: Preceded by a History of the Religious Wars in the Reign of Charles IX
IN the following pages I have endeavored to describe the great struggle which devastated France in the latter half of the sixteenth century, and culminated in the mem crable tragedy of St. Bartholomew''s Day. The nature of that struggle can not be fairly understood, unless the con dition of the Protestants under Francis I. And his two im mediate successors be taken into consideration. In those fiery times of trial the Huguenot character was formed, and the nation gradually separated into two parties, so fanatically hostile, that the extermination of the weaker seemed the only possible means of re-establishing the unity of France.
