註釋"The Huguenots came to this country to start a new life in which they would be able to worship God in accordance with their Protestant religious faith based on the teachings of John Calvin. What they brought here with them was far more important than the possessions, money, homes, treasures which so many had to leave behind in fleeing persecution, imprisonment, or murder. Whjat the Huguenots brought with them to America can be summarized as a composite of entrepreneurial zeal, commercial and industrial experience, skillfulness in crafts, self-discipline, perseverance, adaptablility, integrity of character, strict morality, a striving for excellence in culture, education and the fine arts, and above all, a devout and enduring religious faith"--from Editor's preface (pages 9 and 10). Includes lists of Huguenot refugees.
