Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Persecutions Endured by the Protestants of the South of France, and More Especially of the Department of the Gard, During the Years 1814, 1815, 1816, &C, Vol. 2 of 2: Including a Defence of Their Conduct, From the Revolution to the Present Period ON every point of the department where the reformed religion was professed, the same spirit was displayed, as in the capital of the Garde. Before the second restoration, many towns and villages had experienced its violence; but after the re-establishment of the royal government, it pervaded every branch of the administration. The local authorities were distinguished for their zeal in supporting the efforts of their em ployers, and under pretence of rebellion, secre tion of arms, conspiracy, surveillance of the disaffected, or non-payment of contributions troops, national guards, and armed mobs were permitted or authorised to plunder, arrest and murder peaceable citizens, and uno 'ending protestants. To form any idea of the nature and extent of this shameful persecution, it will be necessary to follow the Civil and ecclesiastical divisions Of the department, and to trace a faint outline Of the evils that were perpetrated and endured.
