Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Travels on the Continent and in England
Le Serre, who attended Mary de Medicis to England, when she visited her daughter Henrietta Maria, the queen of Charles I., and who partook of all the hospitalities of' the English court, (whatever he might think) speaks of us in the most enthusiastic terms. Our ladies he describes as positive divinities, and the country and inhabitants generally; as jworthy the highest admiration. To be sure, he was writing the description of a most splendid spectacle, of which he was the witness, . Where the people were all dressed in their holiday clothes, and as the' same kind of ceremony attended the queen's mother, all the way from her landing at Dover, he may be said to have only seen the best side of us.
