Synopsis

Excerpt from Etienne Dolet: The Martyr of the Renaissance Nineteen years have elapsed since the publication of the first edition of this book, which aroused considerable interest in Dolet, and met with a very favourable reception from the leading organs of the Press, not English only, but also American, French, and German. Having profited - I hope - by the friendly criticisms which the book then received, and having in the past nineteen years gathered a certain amount of new matter, I now issue this second edition thoroughly revised and corrected, and embodying such fresh materials as have come to my knowledge. But although I have found in the original edition a considerable number of trifling and verbal errors, some of the press, others of the author, all of which are, I hope, corrected in this new edition, and though I have been able to add important and interesting additional matter, I have not discovered any material error of fact, nor any reason for altering any of the views I expressed in the original volume, as to Dolet, his opinions, writings, or the causes of his misfortunes.
