"After the Bible itself, no book so profoundly influenced
early Protestant sentiment as the Book of Martyrs. Even in our
time it is still a living force. It is more than a record of
persecution.
It is an arsenal of controversy, a storehouse of romance, as well
as a source of edification."

HIS IS a book that will never die -- one of the great English classics.
. . .
Reprinted here in its most complete form, it brings to life the
days when "a noble army, men and boys, the matron and the
maid," "climbed the steep ascent of heaven, 'mid peril,
toil, and pain."
