_Samuel Daniel_ (Vol. vi., p. 603.).--A copy of an original letter of
Samuel Daniel, sent to Lord Keeper Egerton with a present of his _Works
newly augmented_, 1601, is printed in _Censura Literaria_, ed. 1808,
vol. vi. p. 391.
John Daniel, who published _Songs for the Lute, Viol, and Voice_, 1606,
is supposed to have been the brother of the poet, and the publisher of
his works in 1623. He was of Christ Church, Oxford; and took his degree
of Bachelor of Music in 1604. At the commencement of the reign of
Charles I., he was one of the court musicians, and his name occurs among
the "Musicians for the Lutes and Voices," in a privy seal, dated Dec.
20, 1625, exempting the musicians belonging to the court from the
payment of subsidies.
John Daniel's _Songs_ were "printed by T. E. for Thomas Adams, at the
Signe of the White Lyon, Paule's Church Yard, folio, 1606." They are
dedicated, in rhyme, to "Mrs. Anne Greene, the worthy Daughter to Sir
William Greene, of Milton, Knight."
