DANIEL TUVILL OR TUTEVIL. JOHN SPENCER in his 'Things New and Old,' 1658, is the only one, so far as I have been able to discover, who makes any men- tion whatever of Daniel Tuvill, and even he is not always consistent in the spelling of the name, referring to it as "Tutevil," "Tute- vile," and "Tuvill." Two facts, however, are to be gathered from Spencer : the one that Tuvill was alive in 1631 ; the other that in that year he preached a sermon at " Suttons Hospital!,' afterwards known as "The Charter House" (see Wheatley's In 1609 Tuvill published the first edition of the 'Vade Mecum,' under the title of cating the little book to James Montague, at that time Bishop of Bath and Wells, and afterwards Bishop of Winchester. Montague died in 1618. This first edition is not acces- sible to me ; but perhaps I am not far wrong in saying that Tuvill had at that time either entered into holy orders or was about to do so, and the dedication was intended as a tribute of respect to his present or pro- spective diocesan. That dedication is not
 * London Past and Present,' vol. i. p. 362).
 * Essayes Morall and Theologicall,' dedi-

repeated in the edition of 1638. Hazlitt, in his 'Handbook,' 1867, has registered four productions from the pen of Daniel Tuvill : two of them I intend dealing with in this note. The first is :

" Essaies Politicke, and Morall. By D. T. Gent. Printed by H. L. for Mathew Lownes, dwelling in Paules Churchyard. 1608."

This book is entered in the 'Stationers' Registers ' as follows (ed. Arber, vol. iii. p. 375) :

"19Aprilis[1608].

" Matheue Lownes. Entred for his Copie vnder the handes of Master Powell and the wardens 'Essayes politique and Morall' To the right honorable the Lady Anne Harrington, vj d ."

As indicated in this entry, the volume is dedicated "To the Right Honorable, and vertuous Ladie, the Ladie Anne Harington." This lady was the daughter and heiress of one Robert Kelway, Surveyor of the Court of Wards and Liveries, and was married to Sir John Harington about 1590. The latter was raised to the peerage as Lord Haringtou in July, 1603. Of this marriage there were several children, one of them being Lucy, in after years famous as the Countess of Bedford, and the friend of Donne, Ben Jonson, Chapman, Drayton, and Daniel. In passing let me say that Mr. Gosse, in his admirable and exhaustive ' Life of John Donne,' has many most interesting refer- ences to this Countess of Bedford and the relationship in which she stood to the illus- trious men I have named. Lord Harington died at Worms, in Germany, on 13 August, 1613, and his remains were interred atExton, in Rutlandshire. His widow died in June, 1620, at St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate, and she too was buried at Exton beside her husband. In 1603 Princess Elizabeth, James l.'s un- fortunate daughter, was placed under the care of the Haringtons, who were resident at that time at Combe Abbey, Warwickshire, the property as it would appear, of Lady Harington. This lady was "distinguished by her gentleness and refinement," says Miss Bradley in the 'D.N.B.'; "she lived in great poverty after her husband's and son's deaths [the latter died at Kew on 27 Feb- ruary, 1614], and went back for a time as lady-in-waiting to Princess Elizabeth."

To this gracious lady, then, did " D. T. Gent." dedicate his volume of * Essaies ' in 1608. He opens his dedication with these words :

"The desire I had to manifest my seruiceable affection towards your Honour in outwarde Com- plement, hath on such idle houres, as remained free to mee from your imployments, begot this young and tender Infant " ;
