A Tale of the Huguenots, or Memoirs of a French Refugee Family: Translated and Compiled from the Original Manuscripts of James Fontaine (Classic Reprint) by James Fontaine (Paperback / softback, 2017)
Excerpt from A Tale of the Huguets, or Memoirs of a French Refugee Family: Translated and Compiled From the Original Manuscripts of James Fontaine Here was the spectacle of a man, accustomed in his early days to the enjoyments of a competent es tate, and educated accordingly, who, for conscience sake, resisting the oppression and persecution of him self and his countrymen with indomitable courage, was, at last stripped of all, and obliged to abandon his country. An exile in a strange land, igrant of its language, unaccustomed to manual labour, and with the refinement of feeling belonging to his educa tion and former rank in society; he felt that he was thrown upon his energies as a man, and bly gird ing himself to the work before him, he trusted in his Maker, and proved that, if true to God and true to himself, man need never despair.
