* So says Rapin; but when the Princess Elizabeth" was espoused to the Count Palatine of the Rhine, which was a few weeks after the death of Prince Henry, she appeared in a black velvet gown; which, Mr. Anstis doubts not, was worn as mourning for Prince Henry. On the 14th of February following, at her wedding, the king was in a most sumptuous black suit, which, Mr. Anstis supposes, was worn as mourning for the prince." See Miscellaneous Pieces at the end of the second edition of Leland's "Collectanea," vol. v. p. 330, 334, and compare the passages with Neale's "History of the Puritans," ii. p. 101. In Birch's" Historical View of the Negotiations between England, France, and Brussels," p. 217, it is said, that James "would not suffer his subjects to wear mourning for the deceased queen."

This prince, though possessed of many excellent qualities, was never so popular as his brother. The king continued to call him "Baby Charles," from his infancy, even to the time of the marriagetreaty with France. In 1623, Charles, with more than Spanish gallantry, but less than Spanish prudence, went to Madrid to visit the infanta. Howel, in his " Letters," and Wilson, in his "Life

⚫ I have seen these figures in a border which was engraved on a distinct plate, and affixed to several prints.

+ This was originally the frontispiece to "The Spanish-English Rose; or, the English-Spanish Pomgranat;" a pamphlet by Michel du Val; written to recommend the match with Spain, and addressed to Count Gondomar by the author, in a long dedication, filled with the most hyperbolical expressions of adulation and servility that are, perhaps, any where to be met with: indeed, the whole book is a complete extravagance, and a great curiosity of its kind.

At Combe Abbey, in Warwickshire, the seat of Lord Craven, are the portraits of the Queen of Bohemia and all her children.

This amiable princess, who saw only a phantom of royalty, and had nothing more than the empty title of queen, bore her misfortunes with decency, and even magnanimity. So engaging was her behaviour, that she was, in the Low Countries, called the "Queen of Hearts." When her fortunes were at the lowest ebb, she never departed from her dignity; and poverty and distress † seemed to have no other effect upon her, but to render her more an object of admiration than she was before.

+ Poverty, especially in great personages, and great characters, has ever been an object of ridicule to men of vulgar understandings. Arthur Wilson tells us, that "in Antwerp, they pictured the Queen of Bohemia like a poor Irish mantler, with her hair hanging about her ears, and her child at her back; with the king her father carrying the cradle after her."

That pregnancy of genius, by which the Princess Elizabeth was so eminently distinguished, was conspicuous at this early period of her life. She was one of the most extraordinary children, as she was afterward one of the most illustrious women, of her age. the next reign.

In the family of James I. there is no portrait of Robert, the king's second son, nor any of the Princess Margaret, who died before Mary and Sophia. These two last princesses are represented as very young, leaning on death's heads, with palms in their hands. It is probable, that there were no originals of the other two to engrave from.
