    3. Hello, I have a copy of "Otto Zoff's" The Huguenots " Fighters for God and Human Freedom" published in 1943 but written much earlier. I would be willing to send this copy to you should you wish to copy and publish on the web for all to read. Let me know if you are interested.

Some of you may remember that I inquired a while back about people's interest in "deep background" materials -- not directly useful for ancestor-hunting, but definitely useful for understanding, say, the Principality of Orange in context. I have been working on this, mostly acquiring older (18th and 19th) century works in English. The first "resurrection" -- that of De Felice's *History of the Protestants of France* -- is digitized, for those of you who want to read the man whom most of the Victorians writing about the Huguenots pillaged ruthlessly...It really is a good read. Photofacsimile editions will be available within a few hours or so (say by midnight GTM tonight)...free of charge.... For a greyscale facsimile edition (smaller, at 90 MB, and probably best for printing): http://lexivore.com/huguenots/de_felice/de_felice_greyscale.zip For those of you who like that yellow esparto-grass-paper look (113 MB): http://lexivore.com/huguents/de_felice/de_felice_photo.zip Inside are PDF files you can send off to your local copy shop for printing and binding. And for those of you with the wherewithal, Adobe Acrobat 7.0's commercial version includes in-built OCR....which would allow you to (a) save trees and (b) do free-text-searching inside the PDF itself. (Andrea -- not a commercial plug ;->) Next in the queue: W. S Browning's *History of the Huguenots* and the oft-referenced Reverend Smiles. A word (several, that I've said before) -- do not assume the information in De Felice, or any historian of the Huguenots, can be taken to the bank. These things are sources of hypotheses, clues and leads, not facts. If you have particular works (out of copyright of course) that you want to see resurrected, let me know. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to HUGUENOTS-WALLOONS-EUROPE-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
