""A History of the Huguenots of the Dispersion at the Recall of the Edict of Nantes"" is a book written by Reginald Lane Poole in 1880. The book provides a detailed account of the Huguenots, a Protestant group in France who faced persecution during the 16th and 17th centuries. The Edict of Nantes, issued in 1598 by King Henry IV, granted religious toleration to the Huguenots, but it was revoked by King Louis XIV in 1685, leading to the dispersion of the Huguenots throughout Europe and beyond. The book covers the history of the Huguenots from the time of their formation to their dispersion after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. It discusses the various challenges faced by the Huguenots, including religious persecution, social exclusion, and economic hardship. The author also examines the impact of the Huguenots on the countries where they settled, particularly England, the Netherlands, and Germany. Overall, ""A History of the Huguenots of the Dispersion at the Recall of the Edict of Nantes"" provides a comprehensive account of the Huguenots and their impact on European history. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Protestantism, religious persecution, and the early modern period in Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
