Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Palissy the Potter, Vol. 2 of 2: The Life of Bernard Palissy, of Saintes, His Labours and Discoveries in Art and Science; With an Outline of His Philosophical Doctrines, and a Translation of Illustrative Selections From His Works
Imprisonment of Bernard Palissy implied stoppage of decorative works upon the premises of many wealthy people. Palissy put to death meant the extinction of an ornamental art. Great men required the service of the Potter, and stretched forth their hands, therefore, to with draw him from the gallows. Perhaps they were incited to their efforts by his virtue also.
