The LIFE of CHRISTINA, Queen of

SWEDEN.

THE celebrated Christina, queen of Sweden, and daughter of the great Gustavus Adolphus, was born in 1626. Being only six years old when she lost her father, the marshal of the diet proposed to the assembled states to raise to the throne the daughter of the great Gustavus. "Where is that daughter of Gustavus?" said a member of the order of peasants: "we cannot know, till we have seen her." All the commonality used the same language: upon which the marshal, to appease their discontents, went immediately for Christina, and held her up in his arms in the middle of the assembly. The dissatisfied peasant, after viewing her attentively, exclaimed in a kind of transport, "It is she! behold the nose, the eyes, and the forehead of the great Gustavus Adolphus: we will have her for our sovereign!" She was seated on the throne, and proclaimed accordingly.
