See also:GABRIEL See also:DANIEL (1649-1728)
, See also:French Jesuit historian, was See also:born at See also:Rouen on the 8th of See also:February 1649
.
He was educated by the See also:Jesuits, entered the See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order at the See also:age of eighteen, andbecame See also:superior at See also:Paris
.
He is best known by his Histoire de See also:France depuis l'etablissement de la monarchie francaise (first See also:complete edition, 1713), which was republished in 1720, 1721, 1725, 1742, and (the last edition, with notes by See also:Father Griffet) 1755-1760
.
See also:Daniel published an abridgment in 1724 (See also:English trans., 1726), and another abridgment was published by Dorival in 1751
.
Though full of prejudices which affect his accuracy, Daniel had the See also:advantage of consulting valuable See also:original See also:sources
.
His Histoire de la milice francaise, &c
.
(1721) is superior to his Histoire de France, and may still be consulted with advantage
.
Daniel also wrote a by no means successful reply to See also:Pascal's Provincial Letters, entitled Entretiens de Cleanthe et d'Eudoxe sur See also:les lettres provinciales (1694); two See also:treatises on the Cartesian theory as to the intelligence of the See also:lower animals, and other See also:works

DANIEL, See also:SAMUEL (1562-1619), English poet and historian, was the son of a See also:music-See also:master, and was born near See also:Taunton, in See also:Somersetshire, in 1562
.
Another son, See also:John Daniel, was a musician, who held some offices at See also:court, and was the author of Songs for the See also:Lute, See also:Viol and See also:Voice (16o6)

In 1579 Samuel was admitted a commoner of Magdalen See also:- HALL

Oxford, where he remained for about three years, and then gave himself up to the unrestrained study of See also:poetry and See also:philosophy
.
The name of Samuel Daniel is given as the servant of See also:Lord See also:Stafford, See also:ambassador in France, in 1586, and probably refers to the poet
.
He was first encouraged and, if we may believe him, taught in See also:verse, by the famous countess of See also:Pembroke, whose See also:honour he was never weary of proclaiming
.
He had entered her See also:household as See also:tutor to her son, See also:- WILLIAM

.
His first known See also:work, a See also:translation of See also:Paulus See also:Jovius, to which some original See also:matter is appended, was printed in 1585
.
His first known See also:volume of verse is dated 1592; it contains the See also:cycle of sonnets to See also:Delia and the See also:romance called The Complaint of See also:Rosamond
.
Twenty-seven of the sonnets had already been printed at the end of See also:Sir See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)

.
Several See also:editions of Delia appeared in 1592, and they were very frequently reprinted during Daniel's lifetime
.
We learn by See also:internal See also:evidence that Delia lived on the See also:banks of See also:Shakespeare's See also:river, the See also:Avon, and that the sonnets to her were inspired by her memory when the poet was in See also:Italy
.
To an edition of Delia and Rosamond, in 1594, was added the tragedy of See also:Cleopatra, a severe study in the manner of the ancients, in alternately rhyming heroic verse, diversified by stiff choral interludes
.
The First Four Books of the See also:Civil See also:Wars, an See also:historical poem in ottava rima, appeared in 1595
.
The bibliography of Daniel's works is attended with See also:great difficulty, but as far as is known it was not until 1599 that there was published a volume entitled Poetical Essays, which contained, besides the " Civil Wars," " Musophilus, " and " A See also:letter from See also:Octavia to See also:Marcus See also:Antonius," poems in Daniel's finest and most mature manner
.
About this See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

- TIME, STANDARD
time he became tutor to See also:Anne See also:Clifford, daughter of the countess of See also:Cumberland, On the See also:death of See also:Spenser, in the same See also:year, Daniel received the somewhat vague See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of poet-See also:laureate, which he seems, however to have shortly resigned in favour of See also:Ben See also:Jonson
.
Whether it was on this occasion is not known, but about this time, and at the recommendation of his See also:brother-in-See also:law, Giovanni See also:Florio, he was taken into favour at court, and wrote a See also:Panegyric Congratulatorie offered to the See also:- KING

In 1603 this poem was published, and in many cases copies contained in addition his Poetical Epistles to his patrons and an elegant See also:prose See also:essay called A See also:Defence of Rime (originally printed in 16o2) in See also:answer to See also:- THOMAS

.
In 1603, moreover, Daniel was appointed master of the See also:queen's See also:revels
.
In this capacity he brought out a See also:series of masques and See also:pastoral tragi-comedies,—of which were printed A See also:Vision of the Twelve Goddesses, in 1604; The Queen's See also:Arcadia, an See also:adaptation of See also:Guarini's Pastor Fido, in 16o6; Tethys Festival or the Queenes See also:Wake, written on the occasion of See also:Prince See also:- HENRY

.
Meanwhile had appeared, in 16o5, Certain Small Poems, with the tragedy of Philotas; the latter was a study, in the same See also:style as Cleopatra, written some five years earlier
.
This See also:drama brought its author into difficulties, as Philotas, with whom he expressed some sympathy, was taken to represent See also:Essex
.
In 1607, under the See also:title of Certaine small I4'orkes heretofore divulged by Samuel Daniel, the poet issued a revised version of all his works except Delia and the Civil Wars
.
In 1609 the Civil Wars had been completed in eight books
.
In 1612 Daniel published a prose See also:History of See also:England, from the earliest times down to the end of the reign of See also:Edward III
.
This work afterwards continued, and published in 1617, was very popular with See also:Drayton's contemporaries
.
The See also:section dealing with William the Conqueror was published in 1692 as being the work of Sir See also:Walter See also:Raleigh, apparently without sufficient grounds
.
Daniel was made a See also:gentleman-extraordinary and See also:groom of the chamber to Queen Anne, See also:sinecure offices which offered no hindrance to an active See also:literary career
.
He was now acknowledged as one of the first writers of the time
.
Shakespeare, See also:Selden and See also:Chapman are named among the few intimates who were permitted to intrude upon the seclusion of a See also:garden-See also:house in Old See also:Street, St See also:Luke's, where, See also:Fuller tells us, he would " See also:lie hid for some months together, the more retiredly to enjoy the See also:company of the See also:Muses, and then would appear in public to See also:con-verse with his See also:friends." See also:Late in See also:life Daniel threw up his titular posts at court and retired to a See also:farm called " The See also:Ridge," which he rented at See also:Beckington, near See also:Devizes in See also:Wiltshire
.
Here he died on the 14th of See also:October 1619
.
The poetical writings of Daniel are very numerous, but in spite of the eulogies of all the best critics, they were See also:long neglected
.
This is the more singular since, during the 18th See also:century, when so little Elizabethan literature was read, Daniel retained his poetical See also:prestige
.
In later times See also:Coleridge, See also:Charles See also:Lamb and others expended some of their most genial criticisms on this poet
.
Of his multifarious works the sonnets are now, perhaps, most read
.
They depart from the See also:Italian See also:sonnet See also:form in closing with a See also:couplet, as is the See also:case with most of the sonnets of See also:Surrey and See also:Wyat, but they have a See also:- GRACE (Fr. grace, Lat. gratia, from grates, beloved, pleasing; formed from the root cra-, Gr. xav-, cf. xaipw, x6p,ua, Xapts)
- GRACE, WILLIAM GILBERT (1848– )
grace and tenderness all their own
.
Of a higher order is The Complaint of Rosamond, a soliloquy in which the See also:ghost of the murdered woman appears and bewails her See also:fate in stanzas of exquisite pathos
.
Among the Epistles to Distinguished Persons will be found some of Daniel's noblest stanzas and most polished verse
.
The See also:epistle to See also:Lucy, countess of See also:Bedford, is remarkable among those as being composed in genuine terza rima, till then not used in English
.
Daniel was particularly fond of a four-lined See also:stanza of See also:solemn alternately rhyming iambics, a form of verse distinctly misplaced in his dramas
.
These, inspired it would seem by like attempts of the countess of Pembroke's, are hard and frigid; his pastorals are far more pleasing; and Hymen's Triumph is perhaps the best of all his dramatic See also:writing
.
An See also:extract from this masque is given in Lamb's Dramatic Poets, and it was highly praised by Coleridge
.
In elegiac verse he always excelled, but most of all in his touching address To the See also:Angel Spirit of the Most Excellent Sir Philip Sidney
.
We must not neglect to quote Musophilus among the most characteristic writings of Daniel
.
It is a See also:dialogue between a courtier and a See also:man of letters, and is a See also:general defence of learning, and in particular of poetic learning as an See also:instrument in the See also:education of the perfect courtier or man of See also:action
.
It is addressed to See also:Fulke Greville, and written, with much sententious See also:melody, in a sort of terza rima, or, more properly, ottava rima with the couplet omitted
.
Daniel was a great reformer in verse, and the introducer of several valuable novelties
.
It may be broadly said of his style that it is full, easy and stately, without being very animated or splendid
.
It attains a high See also:average of general excellence, and is content with level flights
.
As a gnomic writer Daniel approaches Chapman, but is far more musical and coherent
.
He is wanting in See also:fire and See also:passion, but he is pre-eminent in scholarly grace and See also:tender, mournful See also:reverie
.
Daniel's works were edited by A
