Excerpt from Protestant Exiles From France in the Reign of Louis XIV, or the Huguenot Refugees and Their Descendants in Great Britain and Ireland: Index Volume, With Analysis, Alphabetical Tables and Notes; Also, Introductory Memoirs of Refugees in Former Reigns

IN order that the two volumes on Protestant Exiles from France in the reign of Louis may be serviceable to historical and genealogical students, it is necessary to provide this index-volume. The author takes the opportunity of introducing new memoirs, and illustrative documents and notes - especially memoirs of refugees in former reigns (fugitives from the Duke of Alva, the St Bartholomew Massacre, and their descendants. The surnames in volumes first and second are reproduced in a careful analysis of the whole work. Additional surnames, admitted in conformity with the plan of volume third, are incorporated in the Analysis, and the Alphabetical Tables refer to the pages in volume third. The original work has thus been zealously supplemented, annotated, and corrected, so that the possessors of volumes first and second have in this index-volume all the advantages of a new and improved edition, without the disadvantage of their former purchase becoming reduced in pecuniary value. It is impossible that the author can reprint the original work. For the sake of new purchasers, therefore, the third volume must be complete in itself. And, accordingly, some repetitions will be observed, which the possessors of volumes first and second are requested to excuse.
