Langhorne, Daniel
, an English antiquary, and a
native of London, was admitted of Trinity college, Cambridge, Oct. 23, 1649, where he became scholar in 1652,
took the degree of B. A. in 1654, and that of M. A. in 1657.
He continued there probably till 1662, when he had a
licence from the bishop of Ely for officiating in Trinity
church in that city, and was elected fellow of Corpus
Chrjsti the year following. This occasioned him to proceed B. D. in 1664, when he was appointed one of the
university preachers; and continued his studies there until
his institution to the vicarage of Layston cum Capella de
Alsewych in Hertfordshire, Sept. 3, 1670, which vacated
his fellowship next year. He held this benefice to the
time of his death in 1681. He was the author of “E’tnchus Antiquitaturn Albionensium,” Lond. 1673, 8vo, with
an appendix in 1674; and of “Chronicon Regum Anglorum,” Lond. 1679, 8vo. A continuation of this was promised, which his death prevented. The ms. of it was
said to be in a private hand, under the title of “Dan.
| Langhornii Chronici Anglorum Continuatio, vel Pars Secunda, ab A. C. 800 ad 978.” 1
