James Thomas Davis, a surgeon in the royal See also:artillery, who died in the See also:month of his son's See also:birth, belonged to an See also:English See also:family of Welsh extraction, and his See also:mother, See also:Mary Atkins, belonged to a See also:Protestant Anglo-Irish family. Davis graduated B.A. at Trinity See also:College, See also:Dublin, in 1836, and was called to the See also:bar two years later. Brought up in an English and Tory circle, he was led to adopt nationalist views by the study of Irish See also:history, a complicated subject in which See also:text-books and the See also:ordinary guides to knowledge were then lacking. In 184o he made a speech appealing to Irish sentiment before the college See also:historical society, which had been reorganized in 1839. With a view to indoctrinating the Irish See also:people with the See also:idea of See also:nationality he joined See also:John See also:Blake See also:Dillon in editing the Dublin See also:Morning See also:Register. The proprietor very soon dismissed him, and Davis saw that his propaganda would be ineffective if he continued to stand outside the See also:national organization. He therefore announced himself a follower of See also:Daniel O'Connell, and became an energetic worker (1841) on the See also:committee of the See also:repeal association. He helped Dillon and See also:Charles Gavan See also:Duffy to found the weekly newspaper, The Nation, the first number of which appeared on the 15th of October 1842. The See also:paper was chiefly written by these three promoters, and its concentrated purpose and vigorous See also:writing soon attracted See also:attention. Davis, who had never written See also:verse, was induced to See also:attempt it for the new undertaking. The "Lament of] See also:Owen See also:Roe O'See also:Neill" was printed in the See also:sixth number, and was followed by a See also:series of lyrics that take a high See also:place in Irish national poetry—" The See also:Battle of See also:Fontenoy," " The Geraldines," " See also:Wire Bhan a• Stoll." and many others. Davis contemplated a history of See also:Ireland, an edition of the speeches of Irish orators, one See also:volume of which appeared, anda See also:life of See also:Wolfe See also:Tone. These projects remained incomplete, but Davis's determination and continuous zeal made their See also:mark on his party. See also:Differences arose between O'Connell and the See also:young writers of The Nation, and as See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time went on became more pronounced. Davis was accused of being See also:anti-See also:Catholic, and was systematically attacked by O'Connell's followers. But he differed, said See also:Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, from earlier and later Irish tribunes," by a perfectly genuine See also:desire to remain unknown, and reap neither recognition nor See also:reward for his See also:work." His See also:early See also:death from See also:scarlet See also:fever (See also:September 15th, 1845) deprived " Young Ireland " of its most striking See also:personality.
His Poems and his See also:Literary and Historical Essays were collected in 1846. There is an edition of his See also:prose writings (1889) in the Camelot See also:Classics. See the monograph on Thomas Davis by Sir Charles Gavan Duffy (189o, abridged ed. 1896), and the same writer's Young Ireland (revised edition, 1896).
