DANIEL TUVILL OR TUTEVIL. 66 sermon at 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 mention whatever of Daniel Tuvill, and even he is not always consistent in the spelling of the name, referring to it as "Tutevil," Tutevile," 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 "Suttons Hospitall,' afterwards known as "The Charter House" (see Wheatley's London Past and Present,' vol. i. p. 362). In 1609 Tuvill published the first edition of the 'Vade Mecum,' under the title of Essayes Morall and Theologicall,' dedicating 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 accessible 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 prospective diocesan. That dedication is not "19 Aprilis [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, vja.” 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 Harington 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 references to this Countess of Bedford and the relationship in which she stood to the illustrious men I have named. Lord Harington died at Worms, in Germany, on 13 August, 1613, and his remains were interred at Exton, 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 I.'s unfortunate 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 distinguished Harington. This lady was 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 February, 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 Complement, hath on such idle houres, as remained free to mee from your imployments, begot this young and tender Infant"; and then he goes on to say, evidently alluding to her relationship to the Princess Elizabeth, "whose bosome the hand of heauen hath so richlie furnisht with all exemplary vertues, that from amongst so many, Wisdome selected you, to be the Gouernesse, from whom the Princely issue of a royall bed might receiue instruction." At the end of this dedication he subscribes himself, "Madam, your Honors most affectionate seruant, D. T." Let it not be forgotten that on the titlepage the author is designated "Gent.," the abbreviated form of "Gentleman"; and as he tells us he was in the service of Lady Harington, we should like to know the exact nature of his employment. If "D. T. Gent." and Daniel Tuvill, who in after years preached at Sutton's Hospital, were one and the same person, the natural inference, I think, would be that he occupied the position of tutor in the Harington family. Looking, however, at all the circumstances, I am strongly of opinion that "D. T. Gent." was quite a different person from Daniel Tuvill. I am confirmed in this opinion by the fact that all the extracts reproduced by John Spencer -excepting, of course, the one from the sermon at Sutton's Hospital-are taken from Tuvill's Essayes,' first published in 1609. I have taken the trouble to verify all these extracts-Spencer, except naming the book, has no references to page or subject of essay -in the edition of 1638. I am also inclined to think that Spencer was personally acquainted with Tuvill, as he was with many notable men of his time, including Fuller, the Church historian; and that the quotation from the Sutton Hospital sermon was furnished by Tuvill himself. If this supposition be correct, it follows that Spencer would most likely be familiar with all that Tuvill had written and published. It is strange, then, that he did not lay the 'Essaies' of 1608 under contribution for the purposes of his excellent miscellany, if for nothing else than in compliment to the author. In my copy of the 'Essaies,' 1608, there are a number of notes in a handwriting contemporaneous with the date of the book; but they are not of any consequence. I may remark, however, that this volume of 1608 is a very much scarcer book than Tuvill's 'Vade Mecum.' The former was confined to one edition, while the latter went through no fewer than four editions. As to the literary value of these two little books, they are both in their way excellent; but I should say the Essaies' of 1608 are much superior to those in the Vade Mecum.' I take the writer of the former both a scholar and a man of his opportunities for observi and he shows conspicuously I this direction-much greate have fallen to the lot of the Vade Mecum.' In regard to the Vade M access only to the edition of before me. It contains two t engraved and the other in c The former reads: "Vade Mecum or Essayes Mora A new Edition wth some Addition London Printed for I. S. and are The second title-page reads : "Vade Mecum. A Manuall of E B Theologicall. Inter-woven with A nobis hæc otia fecit. The third Edi vations, Historicall, Politicall. Printed by E. P. for I. S. and are Bernard Langford, at the signe of t at Holbourne-Bridge. 1638." The book was originally ent 'Stationers' Registers' as follow vol. iii. p. 392):— "17 Octobris [1608]. "Eleazar Edgar Walter Burre. En copie vnder the h]andes of master R and Th[e] wardens A Booke called 'E and Theologicall,' vjd." This edition of 1638 is stated "Third." It ought, I think, to be Fourth"; for I have a note bearing the dates of 1609, 1629, 1638. P.S. Since writing the foregoin unexpectedly discovered a clue to ship of the Essaies,' 1608, above r While consulting Henry Kent edition of Walton's 'Life of Joh D.D.' (one of the scarcest of mode see Mr. Gosse's 'Life of Dr. Donn Pref. p. ix) in connexion with quit matter, I was struck with the passage in a foot-note to p. 66. everything considered, that there little doubt that "Master Tovey," Daniel Tuvill, was the author of the 1608. The author of that work, as already seen, was in the service Harington, to whom he dedicates the and it is presumably the same per accompanied her son to the conti Europe. "Master Tovey" predeces pupil, the young Lord Harington, w in 1614. The following particulars an on the authority of Nuge Antiqu 1804, vol. ii. p. 308): "Being well grounded in religion and learning at home, his noble father [Lord Harington] sent him to travel abroad in France and Italy, attended by his tutor Master Tovey, a grave and learned religious man, formerly head master of the free school, at Coventry.' But how dangerous a thing it is for religious gentlemen to travel into these popish countries, may appear by the example of this nobleman and his tutor, whose sound religion and heavenly zeal for the truth being taken notice of by the Jesuits, they took an opportunity to administer a slow-working poison to them, that, seeing they had no hopes of corrupting their minds, they might destroy their bodies, and bring them to their graves. Of this poison, Mr. Tovey, being aged, and so less able to encounter with the strength of it, died presently after his return into England; but the lord Harrington, being of strong and able body, and in the prime of his age, bore it better and conflicted with it longer; yet the violence of it appeared in his face presently after his return, and not long after, hastened his death, at the age of twenty-two." ROBERT GREENE'S PROSE WORKS. (See 10th S. iv. 1, 81, 162, 224, 483; v. 84, 202, 343, 424, 442.) I NOW conclude my notes on Greene's indebtedness to Primaudaye. In chap. xlvi. Primaudaye continues "Of a house and familie, and of the kinds of marriage of certaine ancient customes observed in marriage"-a brief but interesting discourse. There is a curious passage about Greene Queen Elizabeth's wooers in it. picks a few plums out of this chapter, and places them in a storehouse, 'The Royal Exchange,' which is admirably suitable for the purpose. We find here where he got his Martia as an authority upon marriage (p. 494), but she furnished Greene with a name only. On p. 494 we have: "This caused a yoong man to go to Pittacus, one of the sages of Grecia, and to aske his counsell...... Marke (said this wise man) when children are readie to play at fence; go to them, and they will counsell thee...... When they saw this yoong man coming, who exceeded them in bigness,.....they said aloud, let every one go to his match. Whereby he learned what he was to do." Greene has this, in slightly different words (iii. 270), and in his differing he has produced silliness: "Going to a play that they had, which was, euerie man choose his peere.' On p. 497 (same chapter) we find, speaking of second marriages: "Valeria of Rome may serve for a notable example to women, who said, that hir husband died for others, but lived to hir for ever." Greene quotes these words of "the Romane Lady Valeria" exactly, in Penelope's Web' (v. 161). Near the beginning of chap. xlvi. (pp. 492-4), Primaudaye has a discourse upon the four kinds of marriage, "namely, the marriage of honour, the marriage of love, the marriage of labour, and the marriage of grief." He divides the first into three sorts, all "supernatural, and appointed of God, in an unspeakable manner." He then deals with the other three. Greene, in Penelope's Web' (v. 159-60), omits the first sort entirely, and says at random: "Therefore Pittachus, one of the seaven sages, settest downe three kinds of marriages. The first of love, the second of labour, the third of griefe. As touching the first, Themistocles tearmes it a charitable conjunction, unitie, and societie of them that are good." These latter are Primaudaye's words, but he does not attribute them to Themistocles, whose name appears, indeed, on that page (493), but in a wholly different connexion. Primaudaye then quotes the comic poet Plautus "that in marriage a man must take his wife by the ears, and not by the fingers." Greene makes another jumble, quoting this correctly from Primaudaye in words, but not in application. And then he borrows "Olimpias, the mother of Alexander," and makes her say other than she did. Greene's medley is very quaint. Primaudaye (chap. xlvii. p. 510) gives us the headings of the tale of Ninus and Semiramis, the wife of Menon. Greene developes this in good story-telling form in 'The Tale of Cosimo' in his 'Farewell to Follie' (ix. 298). Immediately after the passage about Menon, who is quoted as an example "Of the particular dutie of a Husband towards his Wife," Primaudaye gives the cases of Marcus Lepidus, who, "being driven into banishment, heard that his wife was married to another, whereupon he died for sorrow "; and "Sylanus [Sylaus in Greene], a Romane, [who] slue himself after his wife, whom he singularly loved, was taken from him and given to Nero the Emperor" (pp. 510, 511). Greene puts these two examples into Menon's mouth (p. 313), showing where he drew his story from. There is a good deal in common between this tale of Cosimo's and 'Penelope's Second Tale' in 'Penelope's Web' (v. 203). Greene's finish to his tale of Semiramis and Ninus has no counterpart in their known history, I believe. At any rate, he draws it from Primaudaye; it is the story, somewhat altered, of Camma and Synorix (pp. 521, 522), in chap. xlviii., Of the Dutie of a Wife towards her Husband.' The wording is identical, as well as the situation, in several places. Other examples in this tale of Greene's are Panthea, the wife of Abradatus; Portia, the wife of Brutus; and |
