'D'Aubigné's History of the Reformation is in all respects oneof the grandest literary and historical works of this or anyage. The author's brilliant genius imparted to its pages allthe fascination of a romance, while his research, study, andsound judgment have invested it with an authority that hasstood the test, in its most important parts, of more than aquarter of a century's criticism.'—N. Y. Observer.
'Thirty years have now passed since we read in our studentdays the first three volumes which the Carters had justbrought in an American dress. The name of D'Aubigné was soonon every tongue. The same clear, forcible style characterizesthis latest volume, albeit maturer and richer, the same lovefor the Gospel, and the same grasp of the truth of history.The new generation, in whose presence Rome is demanding, thatthe world shall move backward three hundred and fifty years,may do well to study the volumes of this author.'—NorthChristian Advocate.
'D'Aubigné is a clear, incisive writer, and all of hisassertions are supported with copious notes that make the workinvaluable for controversial purposes. As a simple, historicalnarrative it is unequalled.'—Chronicle.
'Many of our readers will remember the real pleasure andprofit with which they read the History of the Reformationas it first appeared from the pen of Dr. D'Aubigné. He had anew style, making every scene and character so lifelike andstriking as to impress the great points upon the mind, andimpress the reader for life.'—Christian Instructor.
'There is a fascination about D'Aubigné's style that hasgiven to his work an uncommon popularity. While he is masterof the art of expression, he has entered so fully into thespirit of the great struggle he records, and has so completelyidentified himself with the efforts and aims of its heroicleaders, as to add to the narrative of the historian, theenthusiasm of a chief actor in the scene.'—EpiscopalMethodist.
'Dr. Merle d'Aubigné has earned the first place among theFrench historians of the Reformation.'—Prof. Bonifas.
