Publisher's Synopsis
"History of the Reformation in the Sixteenth Century," by J. H. Merle d'Aubigné revolves around the plot of the Protestant Reformation, which began in the early 16th century as a response to the corruption and abuses of the Roman Catholic Church. This History of the Reformation in the Sixteenth Century Vol 4 covers the period from the Peace of Augsburg in 1555 to the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648.

He also delves into the political and social aspects of the Reformation, including the role of monarchs and the impact of the movement on everyday life. The book remains a classic work of Reformation history and a valuable resource for scholars and students of the period.
