Huguenot refugee doctors in England.

THE Huguenot Society of London, for more than seventy years, has meticulously collected data regarding the thousands of Protestants from France and the Low Countries who took refuge in England throughout the two hundred years between the Reformation and the suppression of reformed religion in France. There were two main periods of large-scale immigration: the first, in the mid-sixteenth century, corresponding with the attempt to eradicate Protestantism from the Netherlands and following the massacre of St. Bartholomew's Eve in Paris (1572); and the second, before and immediately after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685. During the hundred . . .

A Study of Lanier's Poems

A Two themes welded in perfect harmony will tell the story of our poet's life, music and love. Music-born with him, descending to him by a long line of inheritance, his life-long passion; love, broad, catholic and unfathomable, the source of his real living and the key note of his character. Love, the core of his inmost being, the very marrow of his daily thought. Music, the flower of his daily life and the fittest utterance of his secret soul. By good right, too, could he lay claim to the gift of music. In the days of good Queen Bess, one Jerome Lanier, a Huguenot refugee had been kindly received in England and he repaid this kindness by giving to England's sovereign his talents and by bequeathing to her successors, James I. and the First Charles, the talents of his gifted son, Nicholas.

V. The Huguenot Element in Charleston's Pronunciation

In a paper read a year ago before this body I endeavored to sketch the main features of the Anglo-Saxon element in the pronunciation of Charleston, reserving for some future occasion the Huguenot, German, and negro influences upon the same. In the present paper, I purpose investigating the influence which the Huguenots may have had upon the English sounds; for it is evident that such a large foreign element as that of the Huguenots of Charleston, could not have been incorporated into the body politic of the State in its very infancy without exerting a considerable influence upon the manners and customs, the politics and legislation, the grammar and language, of the whole community.—But a short sketch of the Huguenot refugees in South Carolina, of their first settlements and incorporation into the state, and the gradual disappearance of the French language will, however, be necessary in order to show clearly the conditions under which the two languages met and struggled for the mastery. The conflict resulted in the supremacy of the English and the suppression of the French.
