CROWNING, AND ENTHRONING

THE QUEEN.
Col), tiring the above related ceremonies which attended tlit-;
kacmation of the King, her Majesty the Queen had re-
, itin,ed seated in her chair on the south side of the altar.
L'e time, however, was now arrived at which tier Ma-
ty . .
tor 4 as to pass through the same solemnities ; and the
Ati'el'Fenient of them appeared to excite very great interest.
tiliel,..!'"onas the last anthem was concluded, the Queen
Ni"olla her Fhairt and being supporteli as before,,, pro..
44,il ted to the altar, attended by her train-hearer and ladies,
5015, where her Majesty knelt whilst the Archbishop

she may multiply and rejoice in the fruit of her womb, to the
honour of the kingdom and the good government of thy church,
through Christ our Lord, who vouchsafed to be born of a Virgin
that he might redeem the world, who liveth and reigneth with
Thee in unity with the Holy Ghost world without end."
This prayer concluded, her Majesty rose and went to the
faldstool* at which she was to be anointed and crowned,
placed before the altar between the steps and King Ed-
ward's chair ; and standing there, the chief lady who usu-
ally attends her Majesty took off her circlet, and delivered
it to her Majesty's Lord Chamberlain.
Her Majesty's circlet, which she wore up to this time,
was a rim or circle of gold, richly adorned with large dia-
monds, and beautifully set with a string of pearls round the
tipper edge.
The Queen then knelt down, and four Duchesses, ap.
pointed for that purpose, holding a rich pall of silk, or
cloth of gold, over her Majesty, in like manner as the four
Dukes had held a pall over the King, the Archbishop poured
the consecrated oil upon her head, saying,
" In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost,
let the anointing of this oil increase thine honours, and the
grace of God's Holy Spirit establish them for ever and ever.—
Amen."
The Ladies then opened her Majesty's apparel for the
anointing on the breast, which the Archbishop performed,
using the same words, after which he said this prayer :
" Almighty and everlasting God, we beseech thee of thy
abundant goodness pour out the spirit of thy grace and blessing
upon this thy servant Queen Adelaide; that as by the impurities
of our hands she is this day crowned Queen, so she may by thy
sanctification continue always thy chosen servant, through Jesus
Christ our Lord."
One of the ladies in attendance (having first dried the
place anointed with fine cotton wool) then closed the
Queen's robes at her breast, and afterwards put a linen coif
upon her head. When this had been done, the Arch-
bishop put the ring (which he had received from the
Master of the Jewel-house) on the fourth finger of her
Majesty's right band, saying,
" Receive this ring, the seal of a sincere faith, that you may
avoid all infection of heresy, and by the power of God compel
barbarous nations, andbring them to theknowledgeof the truth."
The Queen's Coronation ring is, like the King's, of gold
with a large table ruby set therein, and sixteen other small
rubies set round about the ring, of which those next the
setting are the largest, the rest diminishing in proportion.
After placing this ring on her Majesty's finger, the Arch-
bishop reverently took the crown from the altar, and reve-
rently placed it on the heal of the Queen, saying—
" Receive the crown of glory, honour, and joy ; and God, the
crown of the faithful, who by our episcopal hands, though most
unworthy, hath this day set a crown of pure gold upon thy head,
enrich you with wisdom and virtue; that after this life you may
meet the everlasting bridegroom, our Lord Jesus Christ, who,
with the Father, and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth for
ever and ever. Amen."
Her Majesty being crowned, all the Peeresses present
put on their coronets; and then the Archbishop placed
the Sceptre with the Cross in her Majesty's right hand,
and the ivory rod with the dove in her left, and offered
the prayer—
., 0, Lord, the fountain of all good things, and the giver of
all perfection, grant unto this thy servant, Adelaide, our Queen
that she may order aright the dignity she bath obtained, and
with good works establish the glory thou bast given her, through
Christ our Lord. Amen."
The Queen, being thus anointed and crowned, and hav-
ing received all her ornaments, the choir sung the " Hal-
lelujah Chorus."
At the commencement of the chorus the Queen arose,
and, supported as before, ascended the theatre (reverently
bowing to his Majesty as she passed the throne), and was
conducted to her own throne on the left of that of the
King, where her Majesty reposed until the conclusion of
the chorus.
Immediately that the chorus was over, a loud shout of
" God save the Queen" resounded through the Abbey.
Each of the spectators seemed to vie with his or her
neighbour in greeting the Queen,—some by clapping of
' hands, others by waving of handkerchiefs, and others by
cheering.
