Footsteps Of Our Forefathers: What They Suffered And What They Sought

This work describes localities, and portrays personages & events conspicuous in the struggles for religious liberty. The design of this work is to exhibit, in a form as little repulsive as the nature of the subject will allow, some of the phenomena of religious intolerance, especially as it has been displayed in a Protestant form, and to indicate the mistaken principle in which these melancholy results have had their origin. Illustrated. Contents: light of a dark age; writhings of the downtrodden; contests with despotism; pioneers of liberty; aimings at the impossible; crownless monarch; returning tide; price of religious convictions; "Christ's crown & covenant"; appearing in true colors; high church; will minus the power.
