Excerpt from A Huguenot Family in the XVI Century: The Memoirs of Philippe Du Mornay, Soeur Du Plessis Marly Those who read them in the present day could Often wish for more details, for a fuller mention of the little things which more than anything else transform the past into the present. But the son, for whose sake the story was chiefly written, knew all these common things for himself. He had been born in the midst of civil war and grew up in a clash and turmoil which wellnigh led to the very disintegration of the kingdom of France; but through the fury of public affairs all the ordinary things went on, all the daily routine of living, and the only regret is that the writer of the memoirs thought these homely matters so little worth relating. Thus many things remain Obscure for present-day readers which were too obvious to need a mention nearly four hundred years ago, and it is not only the language, with its page long sentences and use of now Obsolete words, which may present difliculties to them. Something more than translation is needed for those who have made no special study of the time, some slight aid to render the memoirs as vivid in modern days as they were to those who had lived through the scenes they describe.
