STUDENTS, NOTES.

% For the history o. the IfuGuenots
for English readers the ore main au
thorty is Baird His Rise of the HUI
guenots in France" "Thc huguenots

guenois and the Revocation of the
E,dict of Nantes constitute a histori
cal series which can fird worthy par
aliel only in such standard productions
rs those of Bancroft. Motley and Park
man. The writing of this history OF the
Huguenots. Mr.. Baird tells us, was a
work of thirty years. Every known
authority was examined. Every state
mcnt made is based on documentary or
other authentic evidence. or course
where there is snch opportunity for the
expression of opinion a man of Baird's
intensity of conviction canno. write a
coloress history. And Mr.. I3aird's his
tory is not colorless. No one can read
it, however, without being impressed
by the care which is taken to get ut the
facts which should always lie behind
opinion. 1t is n great, a monumental
work. For those who may not know
it, it perhaps will be proper to state
that Mr. Baird is IA professor in the
University of the City of New York

IluEnanotS one Of the best-ira+is-.-is that

France" DR.. Smiles has also written
another work entitled The Hugucnots:
Their Settlements, etc. in England,

however that these works deal with
the subject only after the revocation
of the IIdict OF Nantes.
