Synopsis
Excerpt from The Complete Prose Works (Including Hitherto Unpublished Mss) Of Sir John Davies, Vol. 1 of 2: For the First Time Collected and Edited; With Fac-Simile, Memorial, Introduction and Notes
One thing has struck me, that the more the State Papers Of the period are examined the more evident does it become that Sm J onx davies was the ruling intellect and will Of the administration in Ireland nor less so that he was a many-sided and large-hearted statesman. It is easv for your elbow-chair critic to dispute the conclusions of one who knows better from actual reading and study, and glibly as emptily to treat as enthusiasm an Editor's conscience-ruled verdict on the evidence: easy to accept traditional criticism and deny the genius of Nosce Teipsum and Orchestra, but whoso broods over them will agree that as Poet as well as Thi:.ker and Statesman, Sir John Davies' position demands re-settlement and elevation. That he will find such by-and-bye I do not for a moment doubt. Toward it I am gratefully proud to have completed his Works in Verse and Prose.
