Publisher's notes on the 2006 edition by Clearfield Publishing:
In deciding which books and articles to include in this collection, Mr. Finnell's rule of thumb was to include family histories whose progenitors and early descendants, at least, could be documented as having Huguenot ancestry. Thus, families listed in the 1995 Register of Qualified Huguenot Ancestors of the National Huguenot Society will be represented among the genealogies found in this bibliography. About 700 titles are cited in all, and they are arranged in alphabetical order of the principal family of the genealogy. In each case the citation gives the full title of the work, the author, year and sometimes place of publication, and, in the case of articles from journals, the volume and issue of the periodical. Mr. Finnell is careful to point out that while some of these sources may be difficult to locate, many can be found in large public libraries or in the library of the National Huguenot Society of America in St. Paul, Minnesota, or in the Huguenot Society of South Carolina. (Mr. Finnell welcomes readers' comments in anticipation of future editions of this work.) ... Read more

Ami Perrin, a man of bold and seditious character, whom Calvin denominated a mock Ccesar, had been appointed by the people, Captain-general. His great object, and that of his compeers was, to put down the Calvinists. It is probable that many had become disgusted at the despotic sway of Calvin, and they wished to transfer the church discipline to the Senate. The presbytery stated, that the laws established were consistent with the Word of God. On one occasion there was great danger of bloodshed in the court itself, where the council of two hundred was assembled.Calvin no sooner understood the danger, than, accompanied by his colleagues, he proceeded to the council-house. They heard, on approaching, loud and confused clamors, which increased with all the signs of sedition. Calvin immediately made his way into the midst of the turbulent andriotous crowd. His manner was calm and undaunted, and his presence struck them with astonishment. " I have come," said he, with a firm voice, " to oppose my body to your swords. If you are determined to shed blood, I exhort you to begin with mine."The heat of the contest abated, and Calvin walked to the Senate-Chamber. Here he found an equally violent contest going on. He pressed between the parties, when they were in the act of drawing th... ... Read more
