Authority Cited: Davies
Author name and dates: John Davies (1569-1626) [Sir]

BKG Bio-tweet: Lawyer, formulated Empire legal principles; philosophical poem quoted by SJ and praised by Coleridge, Eliot

Categories (list of works cited – preliminary) [BKG Note: about 268 Sir John Davies cites in 1755 Dict. vol. 1, about 274 cites in 1755 Dict. vol. 2.  I estimate more than 130 of these in Dict. vol. 1 and more than 80 of these in Dict. vol. 2 are from the State of Ireland title, some cited only as "Davies" and the remainder from the poem, all cited only by the author name.  Four Sir John Davies cites were identified as added in the 1773 Dict., as indicated in bold italic in the lists below.  The editions of the titles below used by SJ is unknown.]
​
  • Defense of Ireland, State of Ireland: A discouerie of the state of Ireland with the true causes why that kingdom was neuer entirely subdued, nor brought vnder obedience of the crowne of England, vntill the beginning of his Maiesties most happie raigne.  John Davies, Sir, 1612, London: Printed by William Jaggard for Iohn Iaggard, dwelling within Temple Bar, at the signe of the Hand and Star.  OR A discoverie of the true causes why Ireland was neuer entirely subdued, nor brought vnder obedience of the crowne of England, vntill the beginning of His Maiesties happie raigne.
