NEAL, DANIEL (16781743)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 320 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NEAL, DANIEL (16781743) , English historian, born in London on the 14th of December 1678, was educated at the Merchant Taylors' School, and at the universities of Utrecht and Leiden. In 1704 he became assistant minister, and in 1706 sole minister, of an independent congregation worshipping in Aldersgate
Street
 , and afterwards in Jewin
Street
 , London, where he remained almost until his death on the 4th of April 1743. He married Elizabeth Lardner (d. 1748), by whom he had one son, Nathanael, and two daughters. In 1720 Neal published his History of New England, which obtained for its author the honorary degree of M.A. from Harvard college. He also undertook to assist Dr John Evans in writing a history of
Nonconformity
 . Evans, however, died in 1730, and, making use of his papers for the period before 164o, Neal wrote the whole of the
work
  himself. This History of the Puritans deals with the time between the Reformation and 1689; the first volume appearing in 1732, and the fourth and last in 1738. The first volume was attacked in 1733 for unfairness and in-accuracy by Isaac Maddox, afterwards bishop of St Asaph and of Worcester, to whom Neal replied in a pamphlet, A
Review
  of the principal facts objected to in the first volume of the History of the Puritans; and the remaining volumes by Zachary Grey (1688-1766), to whom the author made no reply.
The History of the Puritans was edited, in five volumes, by Dr Joshua Toulmin (1740-1815), who added a life of Neal in 1797. This was reprinted in OE22, and an edition in two volumes was published in New
York
  in 1844.
