On Black Bartholomew's Day-August 24, 1662-nearly two thousand
ministers denied the authority of the Church of England and were
subsequently removed from their posts. Mary Franklin was the wife
of Presbyterian minister Robert Franklin, one of the dissenting
ministers ejected from their pulpits and their livings on that day.
She recorded the experience of her persecution in the unused pages
of her husband's sermon notebook. In 1782-some hundred years after
the composition of her grandmother's narrative- Mary's
granddaughter, Hannah Burton, took up this same notebook to
chronicle her experience as an impoverished widow, barely surviving
the economic revolutions of eighteenth-century London. Collected
for the first time, this volume of the Franklin Family Papers
offers rare insight into the personal lives of three generations of
dissenting women.
