28 seen on the summit of the raised centre. In the middle of each side you will notice a projection, capable of holding one person, this was called the boot, and was generally a very inconvenient, uncomfortable seat. The driver of this carriage, unlike the queen's coachman, sits on one of the horses. This coach, though with less pretension, certainly has a more commodious and social look than the former. Clumsy as these coaches seem to us, they were long con- sidered a royal and aristocratic lu...xury, and when their use by the wealthy citizens became general, it was regarded as dreadfully effeminate. The wits of the day directed their ridicule against the coaches ; the London watermen, whose trade they injured, denounced them ; the carmen ran foul of them ; the mob hooted them ; and in 1601, a bill was brought before Parliament *' to restrain the excessive use of coaches within this realm of JEngland. " It was alleged that they endangered life in the streets, that they encouraged idleness and luxury, impoverished the poor, and injured trade.
