Notes: 'Of the ten contemporary descriptions of Elizabeth presented in this book one is Edwardian, one Marian, five Elizabethan, two Jacobean, and one Caroline. They cover the better part of her life (1533-1603) and the whole of her reign (1558-1603). From a review of them all we can form a distinct idea of her appearance, character, principles, tastes, moral and political intelligence' (Publisher's website).
