Parerga, ca. 1605.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/457268188

Chiefly commemorative poems and epigrams dedicated to James I, with a few autograph corrections and an autograph sheet initialed is laid in at the beginning of the volume. A note of ca. 1750 states that the last part of the dedication, already missing from the volume, "was sign'd Johannes Ross, of Reed near Bury St. Edmund's. 1605," and that his great grandson Thomas Ross, rector of Helmingham, Suffolk (d. 1733), left his books to [Joseph] Brereton of that parish. Actually, the Parerga is by John Ross of the Inner Temple whose manuscript of Britannica is at the Bodleian Library. See Notes and Queries, 233, No. 4 (December 1988), p. 446-447, and R.F. Hardin's edition and translation of the manuscript in Poems on events of the day ... 1991.

James I, King of England, 1566-1625

http://n2t.net/ark:/99166/w6kf2p12 (person)

James VI was born in Edinburgh Castle in 1566, the only son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her second husband, Lord Darnley. As Mary was forced to abdicate shortly after his birth, he acceded to the Scottish throne as an infant and was brought up to be distanced from his mother. He was learned, taught by some of the best tutors available in the Scottish Humanist school, but also deeply superstitious, secretive and something of a misanthropist. He married Anne of Denmark in 1590, though ...
