Introduction: The Crown of England

Everything to do with this reign will be of as great an interest to unborn generations as is still at our day the inspiring echo of the Elizabethan era. To-day we should be intensely gratified if we could see the Crown and Sceptre of the Queen who reigned in those great days. They, as this record will show, have gone beyond recall, and no worthy presentment of them remains. It is in the hope that the same reproach may not be levied against this generation that the present book is written.
