See also:NEAL, See also:DANIEL (1678–1743) , See also:English historian, See also:born in See also:London on the 14th of See also:December 1678, was educated at the See also:Merchant Taylors' School, and at the See also:universities of See also:Utrecht and See also:Leiden. In 1704 he became assistant See also:minister, and in 1706 See also:sole minister, of an See also:independent See also:congregation worshipping in Aldersgate See also:Street, and afterwards in Jewin Street, London, where he remained almost until his See also:death on the 4th of See also:April 1743. He married See also:Elizabeth See also:Lardner (d. 1748), by whom he had one son, See also:Nathanael, and two daughters. In 1720 Neal published his See also:History of New See also:England, which obtained for its author the honorary degree of M.A. from Harvard See also:college. He also undertook to assist Dr See also:John See also:Evans in See also:writing a history of See also:Nonconformity. Evans, however, died in 1730, and, making use of his papers for the See also:period before 164o, Neal wrote the whole of the See also:work himself. This History of the Puritans deals with the 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 between the See also:Reformation and 1689; the first See also:volume appearing in 1732, and the See also:fourth and last in 1738. The first volume was attacked in 1733 for unfairness and in-accuracy by See also:Isaac Maddox, afterwards See also:bishop of St See also:Asaph and of See also:Worcester, to whom Neal replied in a pamphlet, A See also:Review of the See also:principal facts objected to in the first volume of the History of the Puritans; and the remaining volumes by Zachary See also:Grey (1688-1766), to whom the author made no reply.
The History of the Puritans was edited, in five volumes, by Dr See also:Joshua Toulmin (1740-1815), who added a See also:life of Neal in 1797. This was reprinted in OE22, and an edition in two volumes was published in New See also:York in 1844.
