Queen Anne Image
Queen Anne (1665-1714) The last Stuart ruler of England. "She was virtuous, conscientious, and affectionate, more worthy of esteem as a woman than of admiration as a queen. Her reign is often mentioned as a period rendered illustrious by some of the greatest names, both in literature and science, which her country has ever produced; but literature and science owed little to her active encouragement." (The New International Encyclopaedia, Vol. I, New York: Dodd, Mead & Co., 1920, 670-671.)
