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.
