ler. Daniel was father of Sir Thomas Rawlinson,
of whom Thomas Hearne writes (October 1st, 1705): "Sir Thomas
Rawlinson is chosen Lord Mayor of London for ye ensueing
notwithstanding the great opposition of ye Whigg party" (Hearne's
"Collections," ed. Doble, 1885, vol. i. p. 51). The well-known

to see him and his wife, and would have gone to my Aunt Wight, but that
her only child, a daughter, died last night. Home and to my Lord, who
supped within, and Mr. E. Montagu, Mr. Thos. Crew, and others with him
sat up late. I home and to bed.

29th. This day or two my maid Jane--[Jane Wayneman.]--has been lame,
that we cannot tell what to do for want of her. Up and to White Hall,
where I got my warrant from the Duke to be Clerk of the Acts. Also I
got my Lord's warrant from the Secretary for his honour of Earle of
Portsmouth, and Viscount Montagu of Hinchingbroke. So to my Lord, to

alive, and coming up to town to look after his place, which made my
heart sad a little. At night told my Lord thereof, and he bade me get
