  Sir John Denham - LoveToKnow 1911
SIR JOHN DENHAM (1615-1669), English poet, only son of Sir John Denham (1559-1639), lord chief baron of the exchequer in Ireland, was born in Dublin in 1615.
He was entrusted with the charge of forwarding letters to and from the king when he was in the custody of the parliament, a duty which he discharged successfully with Abraham Cowley, but in 1648 he was suspected by the Parliamentary authorities, and thought it wiser to cross the Channel.
While Denham was recovering, his wife died, poisoned, it was said, by a cup of chocolate.

 Sir John Denham
English poet, only son of Sir John Denham, lord chief baron of the exchequer in Ireland, was born in Dublin in 1615.
His qualifications as an architect were probably slight, but it is safe to regard as grossly exaggerated the accusations of incompetence and peculation made by Samuel Butler in his brutal "Panegyric upon Sir John Denham's Recovery from his Madness." He eventually secured the services of Christopher Wren as deputy surveyor.
John Dryden called Cooper's Hill "the exact standard of good writing", and Pope in his Windsor Forest called him "majestic Denham." His collected poems with a dedicatory epistle to Charles II appeared in 1668.

The simplicity of style which Waller achieved was reached, with the use of somewhat different means, by Sir John Denham.
He was born at Dublin in 1615, while his father, Sir John Denham of Little Horkesley in Essex, was lord chief justice of the king’s bench in Ireland.
Denham’s reputation was made by his tragedy The Sophy, acted at Blackfriars in 1641, and published in 1642.

In Parliament John Denham became a member of the Environment Select Committee in 1993, and was promoted to the frontbench by Tony Blair in 1995 as a spokesman on social security.

 John Denham (poet) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir John Denham (1615 - 10 March 1669), poet, son of the Chief Baron of Exchequer in Ireland, was born in Dublin, and educated at Trinity College, Oxford and at Lincoln's Inn in London.
Denham received extravagant praise from Dr Samuel Johnson; but the place now assigned him is a much more humble one.
In his earlier years Denham suffered for his Royalism (during the English Civil War, he was high sheriff of Surrey and governor of Farnham Castle), but after the Restoration enjoyed prosperity.

In August of 1642, when Sir John Denham first published "Cooper's Hill," England was in a state of crisis.
I include reference to Denham's hostile readers not because my analysis itself seeks to be hostile to Denham but because such a perspective is necessary to an argument about Denham's own hostilities.
Within the Geertzian epistemology there is no ultimate escape from the risks of interpretation nor, perhaps, from the charge of partisanship, at least in the attenuated sense in which the cultural conflicts of Denham's age resonate with those of the present.

M.Elizabeth Denham Taylor (daughter of Mary Logan and Alexander Denham) died on 4/23/1923 and it turns out she was the one with all the money -- she was fabulously wealthy for a woman at that time.
Her brother John A. Denham (that's probably the J.A. on the silver buckle you have, Linde) and her sister Jennie K. Denham died before her and left her all their money which they inherited from their father and mother (Alexander Denham had a foundry in Ohio).
He left $5000 to the U.P. Home in Wilkinsburg in honor of Mary Denham Taylor and Jennie K. Denham; to Finvoy Presbyterian Church in Ireland $250; and $750 in trust for the Taylor Memorial School in Finvoy.

 Guardian Unlimited | Guardian daily comment | John Denham: First the decision, then the dossier
Though Lord Hutton has yet to complete his unenviable task, it's pretty clear that the government will have to act decisively if it is going to restore confidence in the role of intelligence information in government decision-making.
For me, John Scarlett's evidence this week dealt with the wilder claims about No 10 rewriting or distorting the intelligence dossier.
Unless the culture is changed, the next dire warning from the government - which might just be true - may simply not be believed.

 John Denham, "Cooper's Hill"
Denham puns on two meanings of style: one is "Any thing with a sharp point" (including writing instruments); the other is "Title; appellation" (Johnson).
John Dryden was one of the first to draw attention to these lines, from "O could I flow like thee" to "without ore-flowing full": "I am sure there are few who make Verses, have observ’d the sweetness of these two Lines in
In 1755 Paul Whitehead invoked "Thames, made immortal, by her Denham’s strains," and two years later Charles Peters called these verses "The most celebrated lines, perhaps, in all our English poetry." In 1779 Samuel Johnson said that "almost every writer for a century past has imitated" them.
