Collation: 2 leaves unsigned, A-C4D-Q8R42A-2S82T6, A-M8N4, 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.
