Transcript

Ce.) The past takes us behind the scenes. It dis- closes to us the moral weaknesses, as well as the strength, of its heroes and heroines. By divulging the mysteries of their domestic, life, it often ena- bles us to trace the clue to their public actions. Thus, while admiration for their deeds kindles our enthusiasm, a sense of the humorous provokes our smiles. There are various epochs in the past which, more powerfully than others, force themselves on our con- sideration. Lit up by a blaze of military glory, they flatter our national vanity. They led to a great social and literary development, and appeal to our imagination. They bear analogies to our own times, and claim our interest. The reign of Queen Anne combines these qualifications, and for this reason I venture to submit to you a slight sketch of some of its principal features. The mere fact that our Sovereign is a Queen, that under her England has experienced a greater ex- pansion of its political and material forces than under any of its kings, attracts our attention, and invites comparison with the reigns of the former Queens regnant of England.
