RICHARD CAREW, esq. the celebrated antiquary, and surveyor of Cornwall, sheriff of that county in the 24th ELIZABETH, and M.P. for Saltash in the 27th of the same reign. Of this learned person, Anthony Wood, in his quaint style, gives the following account: "He was born at East Anthony, of an ancient and genteel family, 1555, became a gent. com. of Christ Church very young, about the time that his kinsman, George Carew, (afterwards Earl of Totness,) and William Camden, studied there; at fourteen years of age, he disputed extempore with the matchless Sir William Sidney, in the presence of the Earls of Leicester, Warwick, and other nobility, at what time they were lodged in Christ Church to receive entertainment from the muses; after he had spent three years in Oxon, he retired to the Middle Temple, where he spent three years more, and then was sent with his uncle, (Sir George Carew, as it seems,) in his embassage unto the King of Poland, whom, when he came to Dantzick, he found that he had been newly gone from thence into Sweden, whither also he went after him. After his return, and a short stay made in England, he was sent by his father into France, with Sir Henry Nevill, who was then ambassador leiger unto King HENRY IV. He was high sheriff of Cornwall, 1586. In 1589, he was elected a member of the college of antiquaries, and about that time he made an historical survey of his native county, which was afterwards printed, he being then accounted a religious, ingenious man, learned, eloquent, liberal, stout, honest, and well skilled in several languages, and the most excellent manager of bees in Cornwall. He was intimate with the most noted scholars in his time, particularly with Sir Hen. Spelman, who in an epistle, (in his treatise, De non temerandis Ecclesiæ,) to him, doth not a little extoll him, for his ingenuity, virtue, and learning." Camden characterizes him, as a person no less eminent for his honourable ancestors, than his own virtue and learning, who hath described and drawn this county, (Cornwall,) not in little, but at large, and whom I cannot but acknowledge to have

abroad to his benefit, he hath reposed himself." He again mentions him thus:-" Master George Carew, (afterwards Sir George) in his younger yeres, gathered such fruit at the universitie, the innes of court, and forrayne travel could yeeld him: upon his returne, he was first called to the bar, then supplyed the place of secretarie to the Lord Chancellour Hatton; and after his decease, performed the like office to his two successors, by special recommendation from her Majestie, who also gave him the prothonotaryship of the chancery, and in Anno 1598, sent him ambassador to the King of Poland, and other northern potentates, where through unexpected accidents, he underwent extraordinary perils, but God freed him from them, and he performed his duty in acceptable maner, and at this present the commonwealth useth his service as a master of the chancery."

+ His younger son, JOHN CAREW, was a gallant soldier, and served with distinction in the Low Countries, and other parts. Having lost his right hand by a cannon ball at the siege of Ostend, in 1601, he was known amongst his friends as "one-handed Carew." He m.

And again, speaking of Anthony, in Cornwall, he says, "Richard Carew, lord of it, 1607, who not only lived up to the dignity of his ancestors, but excelled them all in the ornaments of virtue." This eminent person m. Julian, daughter of John Arundel, esq. of Trerice, (and one of the heirs of her mother, Catharine Cosewarth,) by which lady he had several children. He d. 6th Nov. 1620, and was buried with his ancestors in the church of East Anthony, and there was shortly after a splendid monument erected to his memory. His eldest son and heir,t

This gentleman having espoused the cause of the parliament, was accused of treason, and tried at Guildhall, in 1644, "for adhering to the king, and be traying his trust," convicted, and sentenced to death. On the Sunday ensuing, his lady presented a petition to the House of Commons, setting forth, that her husband was in a kind of distracted condition, and unfit to die, and therefore prayed he might be reprieved: whereupon a committee was sent to visit him, and report his condition, who declared him not to be distracted; that he might have time, however, to settle his estate and prepare himself for death, execution was respited for above a month, viz. until Monday, December 23, 1644, when he was brought by the lieutenant and his officers to a scaffold erected on Tower Hill, and there decapitated.

Lord Clarendon relates, that, at the breaking out of the civil war, Plymouth was esteemed one of the considerable towns in the west of England; that there was in it a strong castle towards the sea, with good plat forms and ordnance; and, about a musket-shot from the town, there was an island with a fort in it, much stronger than the castle; and that the mayor and corporation of Plymouth seized both the castle and island, and kept them for the parliament: that, as a reward for the service thus rendered, the parliament committed the governme thereof to the mayor, who was well enough instructed what respect to pay to their committee, which was ap pointed to reside there for his assistance, and to cond the affairs in those parts. His lordship continues, “Ot that committee, Sir Alexander Carew was one, a gentle man of good fortune in Cornwal, who served in parlia ment as knight for that county, and had, from the begin ning of the parliament, concurred in all conclusions with the most violent, with as full a testimony of that zeal and fury, to which their confidence was applied, as any To him the custody and government of that fort and island, which was looked upon as the security of the town, was committed, and a sufficient garrison put into it.
