Excerpt from Huguenot Ancestry During the entire summer of 1843, I suffered from severe chronic headaches, an inheritance from both parents. They resulted in great prostration, making efforts of any kind oppressive, and as far as possible to be avoided. My family consulted Dr. A. H. Okie, who had then located his office and practice in the building on Benefit street, opposite Thomas street, which was subsequently Miss Staples' schoolroom. The doctor having advised a protracted sea voyage for the more permanent relief from this painful indisposition, I took passage in the "St. Nicholas," of the New York and Havre line of packets. We were to have sailed on the 2d of October. I went to New York a few days previous, and found that my room was in the extreme after part of the ship, and my only access to it would be across the saloon deck. I, of course, refused such hazardous exposure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Memoirs of a Huguenot Family The history of the little work now in the reader's hands, is briefly this. Among the private documents, belonging to one of the most respectable families under the parochial charge of the present writer, there has long been preserved, with pious care, a manuscript autobiography of one of its ancestors, who, as a persecuted Huguenot, endured much for the sake of his faith. It was the labour of his latter days to prepare for his descendants the record alluded to, as a memorial of his gratitude for the Providence that had sustained him in many dangers and trials, and as an admonition to his posterity to adhere to the faith for which their forefathers hazarded life. The work, which extended to several hundred pages, was written in the French language, and without any view to publication. In the friendly confidence growing out of parochial relations, the existence of this manuscript became known to the writer of this introduction. Curiosity led to its examination; the strange and interesting nature of the incidents it recorded, related as they were with unpretending simplicity, soon fixed his attention. It struck him as being a vivid picture of by-gone times sketched by an honest eye witness; and the page of past history thus illustrated was not the least interesting in the records of Protestantism.

Excerpt from The Huguenot: Bartholomew Dupuy and His Descendants The author has long contemplated the publication of such a volume as this. The main reason, which has induced him to do so, has been the long and wide felt desire of the descendants of Bartholomew Dupuy for such a volume, that the data relative to the whole subject, and the lines of descent from him might be collated, preserved, and handed down to rising generations, before time had ground them into dust and all tradition been buried in the grave of oblivion. The work has been in contemplation and partial preparation for more than a quarter of a century, but it has been only of recent years that it was undertaken with the determination to effect its completion. The preparation has been attended with much tedious labor and persevering energy, as well as the exercise of great patience, of which no one knows anything save him who has undertaken or assisted in such a task. In these times, when people are driving heedlessly ahead, if not to hoard up riches, at least to become independent, often in disregard of obligations to their fellow men, many of the descendants take little or no interest in their ancestry; and whether they knew anything of importance on the subject or not, they would not answer letters, and furnish that data necessary to make a volume like this valuable to generations unborn.

Excerpt from The Huguenots in France and America, Vol. 1 of 2 The Memoir of the family of La Fontaine, pub lished in New York, and translated by one of the descendants, finds no corresponding memoir in this country. Yet there are enough records left to prove, that a similar noble spirit animated the Huguenots in America. From this most interesting manuscript, I have been permitted to extract the following pas sage not inserted in the printed edition. I give part of it in the old French, that the arduous work of the translator may be appreciated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
