The Israel of the Alps - A Complete History of the Waldenses and Their Colonies; Prepared in Great Part From Unpublished Documents #266931

These words sufficiently explain the title of the present Work, The Israel of the Alps.1 Let me state its origin and its object. For more than fifteen years, I have been occupied with assiduous researches into the history of the Vaudois. My intention was to have taken up again the volume published in 1834, and to have carried out the work on such a scale as would have made it amount to eight or ten volumes octavo.
