Biography:

LAW, James Silvius (fl 1813-31)

No records for anyone with this name have been located. Possibly the name is a pseudonym. The first part of a poem, “Recollections of Memory,” was published in The Irish Shield and Monthly Milesian 1 (1829) with the author identified as “James Silvius Law of Dublin.” His poems are strongly nationalist, anti-Union, and pro-Catholic.
