Excerpt from A History of the Huguenots of the Dispersion at the Recall of the Edict of Nantes

M weiss was among the first promoters of the Historical Society of French Protestantism: and had he lived to reissue his History, it would certainly have gained much in statistical completeness, as well as in vivid colouring. The book as we have it is deficient in life; it attempts a completeness of detail often irrelevant to the subject, and through the rigid following of its scheme of arrangement chapters have to be written in which there is little or no matter worth writing, and which have added to the bulk of the book without adding to its value. Moreover, with every striving after candour, there is a constant undercurrent of religious antagonism which gives the book the character rather of controversy than of history.
