Queen was very popular, and in her progresses, or journeys about herdominions, was everywhere received with the liveliest joy. I think the truth is, that she was not half so good as she has been made out, and nothalf so bad as she has been made out. She had her fine qualities, butshe was coarse, capricious, and treacherous, and had all the faults of an
excessively vain young woman long after she was an old one. On thewhole, she had a great deal too much of her father in her, to please me.Many improvements and luxuries were introduced in the course of these five-and-forty years in the general manner of living; but cock-fighting,bull-baiting, and bear-baiting, were still the national amusements; and acoach was so rarely seen, and was such an ugly and cumbersome affair when it was seen, that even the Queen herself, on many high occasions, rode onhorseback on a pillion behind the Lord Chancellor.
