Footsteps of Our Forefathers - What They Suffered and What They Sought (Hardcover)

1860. This work describes localities, and portrays personages and 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 and covenant"; appearing in true colors; high church; will minus the power.
