Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Publications of the Catholic Truth Society, 1897, Vol. 17

It was a hellish deed conceived in the crafty brain of Catherine, begotten in great measure of her jealousy of Coligny, and wrought in the unrestrained fury of passion by a people burning to deal a final blow of summary vengeance on its hated enemy.
