To the stranger visiting Andover for

Anne, who witnessed the union of England
and Scotland. and who has given her name
to architecture well as TO literature IL
is curious coincidence that the three
great periods of English literature should
be known by the names of three Queens.
The Elizabethan era outshines the other
two, as il witnessed the birth OF the mod
ern national spirit: but as Elizabeth's poets
gave glory TO dramatic verse, Anne's poets
developed the classical line, and Victorias
poets have produced the great English
