The volume you referenced is contained with 16 others on CD#600 from
Family Tree Maker. The CD occasionally is offered on eBay. I believe I
bought my copy from Ancestry.com.

Samuel Smiles work is summarized as:

Huguenot Settlers in North America and Europe

* "The Huguenots: Their Settlements, Churches, and Industries in
England and Ireland"
By Samuel Smiles
An instructive history, this remarkable work recounts the causes
leading to the persecution of the French Protestants and traces
their emigration from France to England and Ireland. The most
interesting feature of the work, to the genealogist, is the
collection of 300 biographies of noted Huguenot refugees who
settled in Britain. Additionally, the work contains an important
section on the Huguenots in America by G. P. Disoway.
