    James Wright WRIGHT, JAMES Arms.—Az., 2 bars engrailed arg., in chief as many- leopards' heads or, Wright. [Lambert. Chancery Collections. Stowe MS. 415.] James Wright (born circ. 1643, ^^^^ October 1713) was the son of Abraham Wright, of Oxfordshire. He was called to the Bar in 1672. His tastes were literary and antiquarian, and he possessed a considerable library, chiefly manuscripts. Wright wrote a number of works on antiquities, and others on the political matters of his time. The drama also had much fascination for him, and he wrote several poems, and made an epitome of Dugdale's Monasticon.
