I.—Account of the Sums disbursed under the direction of Sir Edward Cecill, Treasurer appointed for defraying the Expenses of the Lady Elizabeth, daughter of King James the First, and her husband the Elector Palatyne, with their Trayne, as also the Lords Ambassadors, Ladies, and others attending them from England to the Territories of the said Elector Palatyne, a° 1613: in a Letter addressed by Sir Charles George Young, Garter, F.S.A., to Captain William Henry Smyth, R.N., F.R.S., V.P.
Amongst the various ceremonies and entertainments which distinguished the reign of King James I. there were none perhaps celebrated with greater solemnity or more costly magnificence than those preparatory to and consequent upon the marriage of the Princess Elizabeth with Frederic the Elector Palatine, which took place on the 14th of February, 1612-13. The joyous exultation and feeling exhibited by the people tended in some degree, we are told, to dissipate the grief which was generally felt at the death of Henry, the young Prince of Wales, which happened in the preceding November, and had diffused a gloom over the kingdom.
