Transcript

(3 i Tue reign of Queen Anne cannot vie in length, as it only extends over twelve years, with the reign of Queen Elizabeth, or with the reign of Queen Victoria; it lacks the romantic glamour of the former, and the practical development of the latter age; but its military achievements and intellectual progress form a connecting link between the two reigns and the two centuries. The individuality of Queen Anne bears no com- parison with that of Elizabeth. Queen Elizabeth’s personal importance dwarfs that of her contem- poraries. Her genius and influence direct and colour the politics and events of her time. Queen Anne never directly interfered with the working of the country, but when she did it was through the medium of her ministers and favourites. That very non-interference on her part contributed as much to her popularity, for constitutional principles had already asserted themselves, and the country was able to govern itself through its parliamentary repre- sentatives, as Queen Elizabeth’s personal government and patriotic energy in times of need and distress
