The Whole Workes of Samuel Daniel Esquire in Poetrie. _London, Printed
by Nicholas Okes, for Simon Waterson, and are to be sold at his shoppe
in Paules Church-yard, at the Signe of the Crowne._ 1623.
4^o. (6-7/8 × 5-3/8). S. 25.
Collation: 2 leaves unsigned, A-C^4D-Q^8R^{4}2A-2S^{8}2T^6,
A-M^8N^4, paged. Wanting A 4 (? blank) and E 4 in the 'Civil Wars'.
The two preliminary leaves (here misplaced after signature A)
contain the general titlepage and an epistle dedicatory to Prince
Charles signed by Iohn Daniel, brother of the author, who
superintended the edition. Then follows the edition of the 'Civil
Wars' which had previously appeared as a separate publication in
1609. It has an engraved titlepage containing portrait, signed T.
Cockson and dated 1609; also epistle dedicatory to Mary Countess
Dowager of Pembroke, signed. In the rest of the volume 'Philotas',
'Hymens Triumph', 'The Queens Arcadia', 'The Vision of the Twelve
Goddesses', 'Cleopatra', 'The Letter of Octavia' etc., and 'The
Panegyrike' etc. have separate titlepages with the same imprint;
'Musophilus' and 'Rosamond' half-titles, after which follow 'Delia'
and the miscellaneous verses and epistles. The 'Defence of Rime'
mentioned on the titlepage to the 'Panegyrick' does not appear in
the volume. This was the first complete edition of Daniel's
poetical works. Some copies are said to have a titlepage:
'Drammaticke Poems.... 1635', which was probably designed for issue
with the remaining sheets after the stock of the 1609 'Civil Wars'
was exhausted.
