The story of those who escaped persecution in Europe. The first took place in the latter half of the sixteenth century and consisted partly of French, but mainly of Flemish Protestants; and the second, towards the end of the seventeenth century, consisted almost entirely of French Huguenots.

This excellent book gives an account of the causes which led to these great migrations into England, and describes the effects upon English and Irish industry as well as history.
