Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Crowns and Coronation: A History of Regalia
It must be admitted that the present age is not favourable to the perpetuation of elaborate ceremonies, but the solemnities attending the coronation of sovereigns have a peculiar interest, and, however they may be simplified in minor details, should be retained in their integrity and symbolic character. As landmarks of history they have had a material in?uence on the destinies of mankind.
