the Banqueting House at Whitehall, and is engraved in three sheets by Gribelin, after Rubens."

The love of peace seems to have been the ruling passion in James I.* To this he sacrificed almost every principle of sound policy. He was eminently learned, especially in divinity; and was better qualified to fill a professor's chair, than a throne. His speculative notions of regal power were as absolute as those of an eastern monarch; but he wanted that vigour and firmness of mind which was necessary to reduce them to practice. His consciousness of his own weakness in the exertion of his prerogative, drew from him this confession : "That though a king in abstracto had all power, a king in concreto was bound to observe the laws of the country which he governed." But if all restraints on his prerogative had been taken off, and he could have been in reality that abstracted king which he had formed in his imagination, he possessed too much good-nature to have been a tyrant. See Class IX.

ANNE of Denmark, queen of King James I. C. Johnson p. At Somerset House; Illust. Head.

* He is said to have been painted abroad with a scabbard without a sword, and with a sword which nobody could draw, though several were pulling at it. Sir Kenelm Digby imputes the strong aversion James had to a drawn sword to the fright his mother was in, during her pregnancy, at the sight of the swords with which David Rizzio, her secretary, was assassinated in her presence.

"Hence it came," says this author," that her son, King James, had such an aversion, all his lifetime, to a naked sword; that he could not see one without a great emotion of the spirits, although otherwise courageous enough; yet he could not overmaster his passions in this particular. I remember, when he dubbed me knight, in the ceremony of putting the point of a naked sword upon my shoulder, he could not endure to look upon it, but turned his face another way; insomuch that, in lieu of touching my shoulder, he had almost thrust the point into my eyes, had not the Duke of Buckingham guided his hand aright." I shall only add to what Sir Kenelm has observed, that James discovered so many marks of pusillanimity, when the sword was at a distance from him, that it is needless, in this case, to allege that an impression was made upon his tender frame before he saw the light. Sir Kenelm might as well have told us, that it was owing to as early a sympathetic impression that this prince was so great an admirer of handsome men. Sir Anthony Weldon says, that "he naturally loved not the sight of a soldier, nor any valiant man.'

ANNE OF DENMARK, queen of James VI. Roberts sc. 8vo. In Pinkerton's "Iconographia Scotica,"

Anne, queen of James I. was the daughter of Frederic II. king of Denmark and Norway. In October, 1589, James proceeded himself in quest of his bride, as his grandfather James V. had set an example of this gallantry. They were married in Denmark; and Anne was crowned in the ensuing spring. The character of Anne of Denmark was the reverse of her countrywoman, Margaret, wife of James III. Amorous, bold, intriguing, impressed with little reverence for her husband's spirit, or abilities for government, she was immersed in politics, though her supreme cunning have veiled her from historical observation. That, in particular, she had no small share in the Gowrie conspiracy, Mr. Pinkerton has endeavoured to shew, in a short tract on that embroiled subject; in which he hints that the main actor, Gowrie's brother, was a paramour of Anne, that she highly offended James by her continued favour to the forfeited family; that the Earl of Gowrie himself appears to have been entirely innocent, and that Anne's ambition might conspire with her lover's infatuation, to imprison her husband, and rival Elizabeth in female sovereignty. Had the lover been a man of ability, had not his mind been almost distracted with the weight of the enterprise, another example might have been added to those in ancient and modern history, of imperious queens who have imprisoned or murdered their husbands.

At St. John's College, Cambridge, in the master's lodge, is a portrait of her, with the hair in much the same form as it was worn in the year 1770.

Though the portrait of Anne of Denmark be among the heads of illustrious persons, she was only illustrious as she was a queen. There was nothing above mediocrity in any circumstance of her character. Ob. 1 Mar. 1618-19.

Arms, literature, and business, engaged the attention of this excellent young prince, who seems to have had neither leisure nor inclination for the pursuits of vice or pleasure. The dignity of his behaviour, and his manly virtues, were respected by every rank and order of men. Though he was snatched away in the early prime of life, he had the felicity to die in the height of his popularity
