The history of the religious persecution of the Huguenots in France, from the massacre of St. Bartholomew to the infamous, outrages which preceded and followed the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, is so familiar, through frequent graphic narra tive, that any attempt at repetition here would be quite unneces sary, were the means to be employed adequate. But recently this topic has been ably considered, and a comprehensive narra tive of the establishment of the fugitive Protestants in the New World presented as well.8 An unpretentious assembling of scattered data relating to the Huguenot settlement in Virginia, and of families of the lineage, happily to Serve as material in abler hands in the future, may only'be essayed by the present editor.'
