INTRODUCTION 
 
 HE following account of those members of the Royal 
 Household who have been in waiting upon the person 
 of Her Majesty since the Accession is founded upon a 
 list made by the late Lieut.-Colonel the Honourable 
 Charles Hugh Lindsay, C.B., Groom in Waiting. 
 This list was graciously accepted by the Queen in 
 manuscript, and it includes more offices than those to which the present 
 publication is limited. 
 
 Not only did it appear to the Author that public interest in the 
 individuals of the Royal Household would be more concentrated on 
 those who had the privilege of being admitted to the Royal presence, 
 and of receiving Her Majesty’s commands directly addressed to them, 
 but an opinion to the same effect was expressed to the Author by the 
 late Sir Henry Ponsonby. 
 
 It is therefore not to be understood that such of Her Majesty’s 
 servants as are not included in this volume are held to be outside the 
 Household, or any less members of the Household, than those included. 
 It is to be understood rather that, just as in all times those appoint¬ 
 ments in the Royal Household which bring their possessors near the 
 person of the Sovereign have been eagerly accepted by the greatest 
 subjects, so in the opinion of the Author are they the most likely to 
 interest the general public. 
 
 Biographical notices of the Physicians and Surgeons in ordinary 
 and of the Sergeant Surgeons would no doubt have added value to the 
 work, but not only would such notices have been of necessity lengthy, 
 if at all adequate, but also the Author had reason to believe such a 
 work was already in more competent hands. It is, however, proper to 
 state that none of Her Majesty’s servants have been more honoured 
 by her confidence than Sir James Clark, Sir William Jenner, and Sir 
 James Reid—to mention three of many distinguished names.

 INTRODUCTION 
 
 The plan adopted has been to compile lists first of those Officers of 
 the Household who are appointed and who resign with the Prime 
 Minister, and then of those appointed to such important offices in ordinary 
 as are held during the pleasure of the Sovereign, including the Masters 
 of the Ceremonies appointed by Letters Patent. These lists are 
 arranged so as to show the succession to each person appointed at the 
 Accession. Her Majesty has in attendance upon her in rotation eight 
 Ladies of the Bedchamber, eight Women of the Bedchamber, eight 
 Maids of Honour, eight Lords in Waiting (called Lords of the Bed¬ 
 chamber when the Sovereign is of the male sex), eight Grooms, eight 
 Equerries, and four Pages of Honour. All these, except seven of 
 the eight Lords, are appointed by Her Majesty independent of political 
 party. 
 
 The Ladies are in the department of the Mistress of the Robes, 
 who change with the Government, but receive their salaries from the 
 Lord Chamberlain. 
 
 The Treasurer, the Comptroller, and the Master of the Household 
 are in the department of the Lord Steward. 
 
 The Lords, Grooms, and also the Captain of the Body Guard of 
 Gentlemen at Arms, the Captain of the Body Guard of the Yeomen of 
 the Guard, and the Vice-Chamberlain are in the department of the 
 Lord Chamberlain. 
 
 The Master of the Buckhounds, the Equerries, and the Pages are 
 in the department of the Master of the Horse. 
 
 The records, therefore, of the Lord Steward (Board of Green 
 Cloth), of the Lord Chamberlain, and of the Master of the Horse have 
 been carefully collated with the London Gazette. For this purpose 
 the Author has examined the Gazette for the whole reign, and he has 
 to render special thanks to the Earl of Pembroke and Mr. March, to 
 the Earl of Lathom and the Honourable Sir Spencer Ponsonby Fane, 
 and to the Duke of Portland, Sir Henry Ewart, and also to Mr. 
 William Cullen, not only for exhibiting the records of their respective 
 departments but for active assistance in their collation. 
 
 It is believed, therefore, that the actual succession to the various 
 posts at the correct dates has been ascertained with accuracy. 
 
 Following these lists a biographical note is given of each person 
 mentioned in the lists, in alphabetical order, and certain persons have 
 been added, such as some resident Chaplains, Private Secretaries, and 
 persons appointed extra, with or without pay, who have had the honour 
 to bear similar relation to the Queen’s ordinary life. 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 xi 
 
 The object has been to give those precise details of date and place 
 which are essential to accurate genealogy, as well as some account of 
 the services of each individual in other capacities. In order to attain 
 this object, the Author has applied in every possible case to represen¬ 
 tatives of deceased members of the Household and to the living 
 officials. In a great majority of cases valuable information and approval 
 has been obtained, but in some cases there has been little or no 
 response. Some, therefore, of the biographical notes are much fuller 
 than others. For, whenever any reluctance to give information 
 appeared, the Author has deemed it his duty to refrain from any 
 intrusive pressure, remembering that he was asking a favour of those 
 who did not propose the subject to him. If, therefore, inaccuracies 
 should be found—and there must be some—or paragraphs be deemed 
 incomplete, some allowance may be asked for a difficult and rather 
 delicate performance. 
 
 One observation founded upon these paragraphs will occur to every 
 reader—viz., that, taken as a whole, Her Majesty’s Household has been 
 composed all through the reign of individuals who have attained very 
 great distinction in their respective professions, naval, military, and 
 political. 
 
 It has been indeed a source of great pleasure to the Author that he 
 should thus have revived memories of great Soldiers, Sailors, and 
 Ministers long since gone to their rest, many of them of necessity 
 forgotten, but who in the Peninsula, at Waterloo, in the Crimea, in 
 India, and at home, did so much in their day to raise Great Britain in 
 the scale of nations, and to consolidate Her Majesty’s world-wide 
 Empire. 
 
 And, in addition to the ordinary contemporary sources of informa¬ 
 tion, it has been thought well to search the Court Circular and to 
 gather from it those tender references to the dead which reveal Her 
 Majesty’s affection for her friends and servants. For such references 
 illustrate individually that love for all her people which has, so to speak, 
 sanctified Queen Victoria’s glorious reign. 
 
 Although the present occasion is not suitable for an attempt to 
 enter upon any antiquarian treatise on the origin and development of 
 the Royal Household, it is proper to observe that there has happened 
 to be published in the sixtieth year of the reign the final volume 
 (issued in the Master of the Rolls series) of the Red Book of Ex¬ 
 chequer, edited by Mr. Hubert Hall. In this volume may be found

 INTRODUCTION 
 
 a complete list of the Household as it existed at the close of the reign 
 of King Henry I. 
 
 The character of the King’s Household was no doubt impressed by 
 the Norman Court, and the development has not been so much towards 
 that part of the Household which is dealt with in this book as in the 
 great Hereditary Offices of State, distinguished from the Personal 
 Offices. The Norman Chamberlain is of course represented by the 
 Lord Great Chamberlain, the Marshal, by the Hereditary (Earl) 
 Marshal. But the office of Lord Steward still possesses a criminal 
 jurisdiction such as was originally inherent in every head of a Depart¬ 
 ment. This jurisdiction in relation to any act of homicide which 
 may occur in a Royal Palace or grounds thereof, or in any house or 
 grounds in which the Sovereign may reside or visit, is by no means 
 obsolete, for it has been re-enacted in the present reign. The Act in 
 question is printed in an Appendix to the introduction, and it will be 
 there seen that all jurisdiction relating to homicide resides in respect 
 of the Royal Household, not in the Sheriff or the local Coroner, 
 nor in Judges in Eyre, but in the Lord Steward, under whose 
 mandate alone can inquests be held or criminals be indicted and 
 tried. 
 
 No general history of the Household has yet been attempted, but 
 some very valuable essays were published at the close of the last 
 century (1784-91) by Mr. Samuel Pegge, under the title “ Curialia.” 
 Mr. Pegge wrote upon (1) The Esquires of the King’s Body; (2) 
 Gentlemen of the King’s Privy Chamber; (3) The King’s Honourable 
 Band of Gentlemen Pensioners (now the Gentlemen at Arms); and 
 (4) The Yeomen of the King’s Guard. Perhaps the most interesting 
 of these essays is that on the Gentlemen of the Privy Chamber. 
 Although their office had when Pegge wrote ceased to carry any salary, 
 it was much sought after, because it exempted the holder from serving 
 as sheriff. The Gentlemen had some very curious privileges. They 
 had the right to bear the canopy over the body at the funeral of a 
 King or Queen ; they attended the entry of Ambassadors from Venice ; 
 and two of their number represented the Dukedoms of Normandy and 
 Acquitaine at coronations, taking precedence of the Archbishop of 
 Canterbury. At the Coronation of King William and Queen Mary 
 they preceded the Duke of Cumberland, husband of the Princess Anne, 
 sister of the Queen Regnant. 
 
 The essay on Gentlemen Pensioners was supplemented in 1850 by 
 Mr. J. B. Curling’s book on the history and duties of the Gentlemen

 at Arms, in which is a list of the Captains from the time of King 
 Henry VIII. 
 
 Two contributions to a history of the Household have been made 
 by the Society of Antiquaries. 
 
 (1) “The Wardrobe Book of Edward I., 1299-1360,” printed 
 
 1787. 
 
 (2) “ A Collection of Ordinances and Regulations for the 
 
 Government of the Royal Household from King 
 Edward III. to King William and Oueen Mary, also 
 receipts in Ancient Cookery,” printed 1790. 
 
 The former of these books includes a number of payments for 
 offices which have long passed from the Household into the Naval and 
 Military services. The latter is more in touch with the present arrange¬ 
 ment. The last ordinance is dated 1689. The total ordinary annual 
 expenses amounted to .£76,038 14.?., and the names and fees of all the 
 officers are given. The Lord Steward, William Earl of Devonshire, 
 received .£100 as wages and .£1360 as board wages. It is interesting 
 to observe that in this reign pensions were still being paid to old 
 servants of King Charles I. 
 
 When it is remembered that the whole administrative orovernment 
 
 o 
 
 must at various periods have been developed out of the King’s House¬ 
 hold, and that this country possesses a wealth of records which in respect 
 of the last eight centuries is in other countries unrivalled—except by 
 the Vatican—it cannot be doubted that a proper history of the Royal 
 Household is not only possible, but indispensable, to an accurate account 
 of the origin and development of the British Constitution. 
 
 The Author has adopted in the construction of his biographical 
 notes the form of statement illustrated in the “ New Peerage, by G.E.C.” 
 The distinguished King of Arms, who has produced that splendid 
 genealogical and historical work, has given the Author valuable 
 assistance. To other printed works, such as “Burke,” “Debrett,” Foster 
 and Lodge’s Peerages, “Dod,” the “Annual Register,” the “Gentleman’s 
 Magazine,” &c., many references have been made, Special thanks are 
 due to Sir Albert W. Woods, K.C.B., K.C.M.G., Garter King of Arms, 
 who has not only given the Author the benefit of his advice but to whom 
 is due the acknowledgment that without his great assistance Colonel 
 Lindsay’s original list would not have been completed. Sir Albert has 
 held many offices in the Royal Household of a heraldic nature, and is 
 in the character of a Herald associated with the whole reign. Lord

 de Ros and the late Sir Lynedoch Gardiner* have also been most kind 
 in helping the Author ; Sir Spencer Ponsonby Fane has been most 
 liberal in permitting the Author to trespass on his time. 
 
 This record is therefore now humbly submitted to the attention of 
 the Household and the Public in the hope that it will prove a not 
 uninteresting record of those who have had the honour to wait on the 
 person of the Queen throughout a reign unequalled in duration and 
 success. 
 
 That her reign may long continue is the prayer of all Her 
 Majesty’s subjects.

 P.S.—The present volume contains, in addition to the Lists and 
 Biographical Notes, Reprints of the Supplements to the London Gazette 
 reporting the Ceremonials observed at 
 
 (1) Her Majesty’s Coronation. 
 
 (2) Her Majesty’s Marriage. 
 
 (3) The Baptism of the Prince of Wales. 
 
 (4) The Funeral of the Prince Consort. 
 
 (5) The Marriage of the Prince of Wales. 
 
 (6) The Baptism of the Duke of York. 
 
 (7) The Marriage of the Duke of York. 
 
 These Ceremonials relating to the Queen and her apparent heirs are 
 of interest, not only in relation to the succession of the Crown, but also 
 as records of those who had the honour to be in Waiting. Had space 
 permitted, reprints of all the Ceremonials would have been given. 
 
 * The death of Sir Lynedoch on the eve of the publication of this book is a source of 
 great regret to the Author, for Sir Lynedoch exhibited great interest in the work. The 
 following notice appears in the Court Circular of 16 December : “The Queen received last 
 night with deep regret the news of the death of Lieutenant-General Sir Lynedoch Gardiner, 
 after a short illness. Her Majesty is much grieved at the loss of one of her oldest friends, 
 who had served her for many years, and whom she had known from their mutual childhood. 
 He was in his 78th year, greatly respected and esteemed.”

THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD

 EQUERRIES IN ORDINARY 
 
 From the Accession of Her Majesty to the year 1859 there were six Equerries : 
 the Chief Equerry and Clerk Marshal and four ordinary Equerries and an Equerry 
 of Crown Stables. The Clerk Marshal waited in turn, while the Equerry of Crown 
 Stables did not. 
 
 In the year 1859 the latter office was abolished, and in 1866 the office of Clerk 
 Marshal ceased to be vacated with the Ministry, and the office of Chief Equerry 
 was resigned by Lord Alfred Paget 31 July 1874. 
 
 In 1868 three Extra Equerries were made Ordinary, of which two are still 
 represented. 
 
 In addition to these an office was created in 1854, now styled Crown Equerry 
 and Secretary to the Master of the Horse. 
 
 The office of Clerk Marshal was abolished in 1888. There are therefore now 
 eight Equerryships, the Crown Equerry and seven Equerries in Ordinary. 
 
 The above-named alterations have rather complicated the classification, and it is 
 to be added that on the termination of the political character of the office of Clerk 
 Marshal one of the offices of Groom-in-Waiting was made Parliamentary, which has 
 complicated the classification of the Grooms. The Parliamentary Groom has, 
 however, now been discontinued.

 The Archbishop of Canterbury then proceeded to the Altar, put on his cope, and 
 stood on the north side. The Bishops, who read the Litany, also vested themselves in 
 their copes. 
 
 The First Offering. 
 
 The Queen, attended by the two Bishops, Her Supporters, and the Sub-Dean of 
 Westminster, the Great Officers, and the Noblemen bearing the Regalia and the four 
 Swords, going before Her Majesty, passed to the Altar. Her Majesty, then kneeling 
 upon the cushion, made Her first Offering of a Pall or Altar Cloth of Gold, which was 
 delivered by an Officer of the Wardrobe, to the Lord Chamberlain, by his Lordship to 
 the Great Chamberlain, and by him to the Queen, who gave it to the Archbishop of 
 Canterbury, by whom it was placed on the Altar. The Treasurer of the Household then 
 delivered an Ingot of Gold, of one pound weight, to the Lord Great Chamberlain, who 
 having presented the same to the Queen, Her Majesty delivered it to the Archbishop, 
 who put it into the Oblation-basin. 
 
 Her Majesty continuing to kneel, the Prayer, O God who dwellesl in the high and holy 
 places , c Sec., was said by the Archbishop. At the conclusion of the Prayer, Her Majesty

 THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD 
 
 The Regalia, except the Swords, where then delivered, by the several Noblemen who 
 bore the same, to the Archbishop, and by his Grace to the Sub-Dean of Westminster, to 
 be laid on the Altar; the Great Officers of State (with the exception of the Lord Great 
 Chamberlain), and the Noblemen who had borne the Regalia deposited on the Altar, going 
 to the respective places appointed for them on the south side of the Altar, where they 
 remained until the Inthronisation ; the Bishop of Durham remaining on the right hand 
 of Her Majesty, with the Noblemen carrying the Swords on his right hand; the Bishop 
 of Bath and Wells on Her Majesty’s left hand; and, near him, the Lord Great 
 Chamberlain. 
 
 The Noblemen bearing the Swords continued to stand on the south side of the Area 
 until the Inthronisation. 
 
 The Litany 
 
 was then read by the Bishops of Worcester and St. David’s, kneeling at a Faldstool 
 above the steps of the Theatre, in the centre of the east side thereof, the Choir reading 
 the Responses. At the conclusion of the Litany, the Bishops resumed their seats on the 
 bench along the north side of the Area. 
 
 The Communion Service 
 
 (Previously to which the Choir sang the Sanctus— Holy! Holy! Holy! Lord God 
 of Hosts!) was then commenced by the Archbishop, the Bishop of Rochester reading 
 the Epistle, and the Bishop of Carlisle the Gospel. This part of the Service being 
 concluded, the Bishops returned to their seats. 
 
 The Sermon 
 
 was then preached by the Bishop of London. During the Sermon Her Majesty con¬ 
 tinued to sit in Her Chair on the south side of the Area, opposite the Pulpit, supported 
 on Her right hand by the Bishop of Durham, and beyond him, on the same side, stood 
 the Noblemen carrying the Swords; on Her left, the Bishop of Bath and Wells, and near 
 him the Lord Great Chamberlain. The Archbishop of Canterbury took his seat in a 
 purple velvet chair on the north side of the Area, Deputy Garter standing near him, 
 the Sub-Dean of Westminster standing on the south side of the Area, east of the Queen’s 
 Chair, and near the Altar. 
 
 The Oath. 
 
 The Sermon being concluded (and Her Majesty, having on Monday, the 20th day of 
 November, 1S37, in the presence of the two Houses of Parliament, made and signed the 
 Declaration), the Archbishop of Canterbury advanced towards the Queen, and standing 
 before Her, ministered the questions prescribed by the Service; which, having been 
 answered by Her Majesty, she arose from Her Chair, and, attended by Her Supporters 
 and the Lord Great Chamberlain, the Sword of State alone being borne before Her 
 Majesty, went to the Altar, where, kneeling upon the cushion placed on the steps, and 
 laying Her right hand on the Holy Gospels, tendered to Her Majesty, by the Archbishop, 
 took the Coronation Oath, kissed the Book, and to a transcript of the Oath set Her 
 Royal Sign Manual, the Lord Chamberlain of the Household, holding a silver standish 
 for that purpose, delivered to him by an Officer of the Jewel Office. 
 
 The Queen then returning to Her Chair, where Her Majesty had sat during the 
 Sermon, on the south side of the Area, the following Hymn was sung by the Choir, the 
 Archbishop reading the first line, Come , Holy Ghost , our Souls inspire , &c. 
 
 The Anointing. 
 
 Upon the conclusion of the Hymn, the Archbishop read the Prayer preparatory to 
 the Anointing, O Lord , Holy Father , who by anointing with Oil , didst of old make and 
 
THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD 
 
 205 
 
 consecrate Kings, Priests, and Prophets, 6 c. At the conclusion of this Prayer, the Choir 
 sang the Anthem, Zadok the Priest and Nathan the Prophet, &x. At the commencement 
 of the Anthem, the Queen arose from Her Chair, and, attended by Her Supporters, and 
 the Great Lord Chamberlain, the Sword of State being borne before Her, retired to Her 
 Traverse, where she was disrobed of Her crimson robe by the Mistress of the Robes. 
 
 The Queen, returning from Her Traverse, then proceeded to and sat down in St. 
 Edward’s Chair, covered with cloth of gold, and with a faldstool before it, placed in front 
 of the Altar; four Knights of the Garter, viz., the Duke of Rutland, the Marquess of 
 Anglesey, the Marquess of Exeter, and the Duke of Buccleuch (summoned by Deputy 
 Garter), holding over the Queen’s head a rich pall or cloth of gold, delivered to them by 
 the Lord Chamberlain, who received the same from an Officer of the Wardrobe; and, the 
 Anthem being concluded, the Sub-Dean of Westminster took from the Altar the Ampulla 
 containing the consecrated Oil, and, pouring some into the Anointing Spoon, the 
 Archbishop anointed Her Majesty on the head and hands, in the form of a cross, 
 pronouncing the words, Be Thou anointed, &c. 
 
 The Queen then kneeling at Her Faldstool, the Archbishop, standing on the north 
 side of the Altar, pronounced the Prayer after the Anointing; when, Her Majesty, arising, 
 resumed Her seat in St. Edward’s Chair; the Knights of the Garter returned the pall to 
 the Lord Chamberlain (which was by him re-delivered to the Officer of the Wardrobe), 
 and returned to their seats. 
 
 The Spurs. 
 
 After this, the Sub-Dean took the Spurs from the Altar, and delivered them to 
 the Lord Great Chamberlain, who, kneeling down, presented them to Her Majesty, 
 by whom they were returned, to be laid upon the Altar. 
 
 The Sword. 
 
 The Viscount Melbourne, carrying the Sword of State, now delivered it to the 
 Lord Chamberlain, and, in lieu thereof, received from him another Sword in a scabbard of 
 purple velvet (presented to the Lord Chamberlain by an Officer of the Jewel-Office, who 
 took charge of the Sword of State), which his Lordship delivered to the Archbishop, who 
 laid it on the Altar, and said the Prayer, Hear our Prayers, O Lord, we beseech Thee, and 
 so direct and support Thy Servant, Queen Victoria, &c. 
 
 The Archbishop then took the Sword from off the Altar, and, assisted by the Arch¬ 
 bishops of York and Armagh, with the Bishops of London, Winchester, and other 
 Bishops, delivered the same into the Queen’s right hand, saying, Receive this Kingly 
 Sword, 6 'c. 
 
 Offering of the Sword. 
 
 The Queen then, rising up, went to the Altar, where Her Majesty offered the Sword 
 in the Scabbard (delivering it to the Archbishop, who placed it on the Altar), and 
 then returned to and sat down on St. Edward’s Chair; the Sword was then redeemed for 
 one hundred shillings by Viscount Melbourne, who received it from the Sub-Dean, and 
 carried it during the remainder of the Solemnity, having first drawn it out of the 
 scabbard, and delivered the latter to an Officer of the Wardrobe. 
 
 The Archbishops and Bishops, who had assisted during the Offering, returned to 
 their places. 
 
 The Investing with the Mantle and Delivery of the Orb. 
 
 The Queen then standing, Her Majesty was invested by the Sub-Dean with the 
 Imperial Mantle, or Dalmatic Robe of Cloth of Gold, delivered to him by the Officer of 
 the Wardrobe; the Lord Great Chamberlain fastening the Clasps. 
 
 The Queen then sitting down, the Archbishop, having received the Orb from the 
 Sub-Dean, delivered it into the Queen’s right hand, saying, Receive this Imperial Robe 
 
206 
 
 THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD 
 
 and Orb, &c. Her Majesty then returned the Orb to the Sub-Dean, who laid it on the 
 Altar. 
 
 The Ring. 
 
 The Lord Chamberlain of Her Majesty’s Household, then receiving from the Officer 
 of the Jewel Office the Ruby Ring, delivered the same to the Archbishop, who put it 
 on the fourth finger of the Queen’s right hand, saying, Receive this Ring, &c. 
 
 The Sceptres. 
 
 The Sub-Dean next brought from the Altar, the Sceptre with the Cross, and the Sceptre 
 with the Dove, and delivered them to the Archbishop. 
 
 In the meantime the Duke of Norfolk, as Lord of the Manor of Worksop, left his 
 seat, and approaching the Queen, kneeling, presented to Her Majesty, a Glove, for 
 Her right hand, embroidered with the Arms of Howard, which Her Majesty put on. 
 
 The Archbishop then delivered the Sceptre with the Cross into Her Majesty’s right 
 hand, saying, Receive the Royal Sceptre, &c. ; and then the Sceptre with the Dove into 
 Her left hand, saying, Receive the Rod of Equity, &c. ; and the Duke of Norfolk supported 
 Her Majesty’s right arm, and held the Sceptre as occasion required. 
 
 The Crowning. 
 
 The Archbishop, standing before the Altar, and having St. Edward’s Crown before 
 him, took the same into his hands, consecrated and blessed it, with the Prayer, O God 
 who crownest Thy Faithful Servants with Mercy, &c. Then the Archbishop came from 
 the Altar, assisted by the Archbishops of York and Armagh, with the Bishops of London, 
 Winchester, and other Bishops, the Sub-Dean of Westminster carrying the Crown, which 
 the Archbishop took and placed it on Her Majesty’s Head; when the people, with loud 
 and repeated shouts, cried: “ God save the Queen; ” and immediately the Peers and 
 Peeresses present put on their Coronets, the Bishops their Caps, and Deputy Garter 
 King of Arms his Crown; the Trumpets sounding, the Drums beating, and the Tower 
 and Park Guns firing by signal. 
 
 The acclamation ceasing, the Archbishop pronounced the Exhortation: Be strong 
 and of a good courage, &c. The Choir then sang the following Anthem : The Queen shall 
 rejoice. 
 
 The Holy Bible. 
 
 The Sub-Dean, then taking the Holy Bible from the Altar, delivered it to the 
 Archbishop, who, attended and assisted by the same Archbishops and Bishops as before, 
 presented it to the Queen, saying, Our Gracious Queen, &c. The Queen returned 
 the Bible to the Archbishop, who gave it to the Sub-Dean, by whom it was replaced 
 on the Altar, the Archbishops and Bishops returning to their seats. 
 
 The Benediction and Te Deum. 
 
 The Archbishop then pronounced the Benediction, the Bishops and Peers following 
 every part thereof with a loud Amen. The Archbishop then turning to the people, And 
 the same Lord God Almighty grant, Gee. The Te Deum was sung by the Choir, at the 
 commencement of which the Queen removed to the Recognition Chair, on which Her 
 Majesty first sat, on the south east side of the Throne, the two Bishops, Her supporters, 
 the Great Officers of State, the Noblemen carrying the Swords, and the Noblemen who 
 had borne the Regalia, coming from their respective places and attending Her Majesty. 
 
 The Inthronization. 
 
 Te Deum being ended, the Queen ascended the Theatre, and was lifted into Her 
 Throne by the Archbishops, Bishops, and Peers around Her Majesty; and, being so

 Noblemen who had borne the other Regalia, stood around about the steps of the 
 Throne; when the Archbishop, standing before the Queen, pronounced the Exhortation, 
 Stand Jinn and hold fast , &c. 
 
 The Homage. 
 
 The Exhortation being ended, Her Majesty delivered the Sceptre with the Cross to 
 the Duke of Norfolk, as the Lord of the Manor of Worksop, to hold the same on Her 
 right hand, and the Sceptre with the Dove to the Duke of Richmond, to hold the same
