Title
Preface to the Garland
Date
October 18, 1881
Description
This preface in the form of a letter from Daniel was sent to each of the contributors to the Garland. It includes the text of Bishop John Earle’s ‘Character of a Child,’ from his Microcosmography (1628) reflecting Daniel’s ongoing interest in seventeenth-century English poetry. Only a few extra copies were made, making the preface very rare today.
