Publisher's lavishly emossed brown cloth titled in gilt to spines. 382pp. + [6pp] ads to rear; 419pp. Scuffed and rubbed to extremities of cloth, chipped and frayed to spine ends, strong and solid, a proud gathering or two present in Vol I; Vol II also suffering from some scuffing and wear to extremities; internally clean with some offsetting and toning to the cheap paper stock.

A highly regarded history of the French Protestant migration in the 17th century out of France, to escape religious intolerance. Special attention is paid to the later migrations that resulted in populations of Huguenot refugees on the Eastern Coast of the United States.
