Description
Excerpt from The Huguenots: Their Settlements, Churches, and Industries in England and Ireland
The second of these emigrations, consequent on the religious persecutions which followed the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV., was of extra ordinary magnitude. According to Sismondi, the loss which it occasioned to France was not far short of a million of persons, and those her best and most industrious subjects. Although the circumstances con nected with this remarkable exodus, as well as the events which flowed from them, exercised an import ant in?uenee on the political as well as industrial history of Northern Europe, they have as yet, viewed in this connection, received but slight notice at the hands of the historian.
