Note 340 — Chapter XI

For the patent, commonly misdated January 30, see The Malone Society's Collections, i, 267. Mr. Wallace, in The Century Magazine (September, 1910, p. 747), says that the company secured its patent "through the intercessions of the poet Samuel Daniel." It is true that the Children of Her Majesty's Royal Chamber of Bristol secured their patent in 1615 at the intercession of Daniel, but I know of no evidence that he intervened in behalf of the Blackfriars troupe.
