Excerpt from English Lands, Letters and Kings, Vol. 11: From Elizabeth to Anne
Tury. Elizabeth is dead but not England. The powers it had grown to under her quickening offices are all alive. The great Spanish dragon has its teeth drawn; Cadiz has been despoiled, and huge galleons, gold-laden, have come trailing into Devon ports. France is courteously friendly. Hol land and England are in leash, as against the fainter-growing blasts of Popedom. In Ire land, Tyrone has been whipped into bloody quietude. A syndicate of London merchants, dealing in pepper and spices, has made the beginnings of that east-indian empire which gives to the present British sovereign her proudest title. London is growing apace in riches and in houses; though her shipping counts for less than the Dutch shipping, great cargoes come and go through the Thames.
