Summary

David Carnegie Andrew Agnew Protestant Exiles from France… (1886)

According to a requisition which the French Ambassador, by command of Louis, presented to King James’s government, a copy of the English translation of Claude’s narrative was burned by the hangman, and an order was issued for the suppression of the book. But the Romish method of refuting a book by committing it to the flames, or ordering it to be suppressed, was but an unfortunate kind of argument against the truth of a narrative established by so many decisive proofs.
