  Thomas Osborne Davis - LoveToKnow 1911
Davis graduated B.A. at Trinity College, Dublin, in 1836, and was called to the bar two years later.
Brought up in an English and Tory circle, he was led to adopt nationalist views by the study of Irish history, a complicated subject in which text-books and the ordinary guides to knowledge were then lacking.
In 1840 he made a speech appealing to Irish sentiment before the college historical society, which had been reorganized in 1839.
