PROGRESS

The state journeys of royal personages were called by this name in old English etiquette. In the reigns of Elizabeth and James they were frequent, and somewhat costly to the wealthier subjects, inasmuch as they were usually honoured with the onerous privilege of affording hospitality to royalty. The "progre es" of Queen Elizabeth form the subject of a work by Mr. Nicholl. (See also Uuart. Rev. vol. xli.) Perhaps the most celebrated progre in English history is that of James I. from Scotland to London on his acce ion. [s. 1000]
