Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 8 of 16: Compiled From the Official Records and Other Authentic Documents, Private as Well as Public Soon after Elizabeth's return from her Kentish progress, the following strange circumstance occurred - A crazy fanatic, named Peter Burchet, having persuaded himself, by the misapplication of certain Scripture texts, that it was lawful to kill all who opposed the gospel, - that is to say, those who took a different view of church government from the furious sect to which he belonged, - wounded the famous naval commander Hawkins with his dagger, mis taking him for sir Christopher Hatton, whom he intended to despatch as an enemy of the Puritans. The queen was so much incensed at this outrage that she ordered justice to be done on Burchet in the summary way of martial law,1 and directed her secretary to bring the commission to her after dinner for her signature. Sussex, her lord chamber lain, wrote in great haste to Burleigh to apprise him of her majesty's intention, and that he and all her lords in wait ing were in consternation at the royal mandate. What will become of this act after dinner, says he, your lord ship shall hear to-night. Her prudent counsellors suc ceeded, finally, in convincing her majesty that the ceremony of a trial was necessary before an Englishman could be executed for any offence whatsoever. It appears almost incredible that Elizabeth, after reigning sixteen years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 15 of 16 Away with these childish wranglings with the unalter able past! Facts regarding the queenly sisters, both of Tudor and of Stuart, remain extant, defying all attempts to stifle them, guarded in manuscript among our archives, or those of France. Incidents may be told maliciously or apologetically; in both cases the author's comment may stand in absurd contradiction to quoted authority, but these deviations from the majestic simplicity of recti tude will have the consequence of disgusting the public, and will ever render a narrative unreadable. Can a more absurd spectacle exist than when the comments of writers appear at Open war with the facts they have just cited from documents?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 12 of 16 An interval of repose, and even of domestic comfort, succeeded the birth of la Consolatrice, as James II. fondly called the child of his adversity. Mary Beatrice, though deprived of the pomp and power of royalty, and a queen only in name, was assuredly much happier in her shadowy court at St. Germains than she had been as a childless mother and neglected wife amidst the joyless splendor of Whitehall. She was now blessed with two of the loveliest and most promising children in the world, and possessed of the undivided affection of a husband, who was only the dearer to her for his misfortunes. Like the faithful ivy, she appeared to cling more fondly to the tempest-scathed oak in its leafless ruins than when in its majestic prime.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 7 of 16 Notwithstanding the bitter disappointment felt by king Henry at the sex of the infant, a solemn Te Deum was sung in honor of her birth, and the preparations for her christen ing were made with no less magnificence than if his hopes had been gratified by the birth of a male heir to the crown. The solemnization of that sacred rite was appointed to take place on Wednesday, September 10th, the fourth day after the birth of the infant princess. On that day the lord mayor, with the aldermen and council of the city of Lon don, dined together at one o'clock, and then, in obedience to their summons, took boat in their chains and robes, and rowed to Greenwich, where many lords, knights, and gentle men were assembled to witness the royal ceremonial. All the walls between Greenwich palace and the convent of the Gray Friars were hung with arras, and the way strewn with green rushes: the church was likewise hung with arras. Gentlemen with aprons and towels about their necks guarded the font, which stood in the middle of the church: it was of silver, and raised to the height of three steps, and over it was a square canopy of crimson satin fringed with gold; about it, a space railed in, covered with red say. Between the choir and chancel, a closet with a fire had been prepared, lest the infant should take cold in being disrobed for the font. When all these things were ready, the child was brought into the hall of the palace, and the procession set out to the neighboring church of the Gray Friars, of which building no vestige now remains at Greenwich.

Her dower, moreover, completed the geo graphical wholeness of her husband's fortunate inheritance; for the Orkney and Shetland islands, which had in the preceding century been pawned by Denmark to Scotland, were yielded ultimately to the Scottish king on condition of his marrying this princess. The sovereignty of these barren islands may appear, at the present day, a trifling addition to the majesty Of the British crown; yet they are links Of the great insular empire of the sea, and their reten tion by any rival maritime power must have caused, at some time or other, a considerable waste of blood and treasure. Anne of Denmark was the first queen-consort of Great Britai(R) title which has been borne by the wives of our sovereigns from the commencement of the seven teenth century to the present era. Before, however, she attained this dignity, she had presided fourteen years over the court Of Scotland, as queen-consort of James VI.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England, From the Norman Conquest, Vol. 11 of 16 James was in his twenty-first year when he commenced his second campaign as a lieutenant-general; he was the youngest officer of that rank in the French service, and the most distinguished. His great talent was as an engineer. At the siege of Mousson, where he was at work with his company in the ditch of the envelope, under the great tower, a storm blew away their blinds, and left them ex posed to the view of those on the ramparts. Yet all of us, says he, were so busily employed picking our way, the ditch being full of dirt and water, that not one single man observed that the blind was ruined, and we conse quently in open view, till we were gotten half our way, and then one of our company proposed that we should return; to which I well remember I would not consent, urging that since we were got so far onward, the danger was equal. So we continued going on, but in all the way we were thus exposed not one shot was fired at us, at which we were much surprised. After the town surrendered, the governor informed us, 'that being himself on the wall, and knowing me by my star, he forbade his men to fire upon the company.'
