See also:DANIEL, See also:GABRIEL (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. 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

William See also:Herbert. 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 See also:Sidney's Astrophel and Stella without the author's consent. 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.

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, 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

Henry's becoming a See also:Knight of the See also:Bath, in 161o; and See also:Hymen's See also:Triumph, in honour
of Lord Roxburgh's See also:marriage in 1615. 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. B. See also:Grosart in 1885–1896.
