at Louvain and other Universities on the Continent. He then began practice in the Court of Arches, and ultimately became Master in Chancery, a position he held over a very long period. He was knighted in 1603. He died in 1618, his burial taking place at St. Dunstan's-in-the-West on the 2 Aug. of that year. He was the father of Thomas Carew (q.v.) the poet.
Admitted 5 February, 1573-4.
Son and heir of Thomas Carew of Antony, Cornwall, and elder brother of George (q.v.). He was admitted from Clement's Inn. About 1589 he commenced the work with which his name is most closely connected, The Survey of Cornwall, "being then accounted a religious and ingenious man, learned, eloquent, liberal, stout, honest and well-skilled in languages, as also the greatest husband and most excellent manager of bees in Cornwall." He died 6 Nov. 1620. Besides his Survey of Cornwall, which was published in 1620, Carew translated Tasso's Jerusalem, 1594, and was the author and translator of the following treatises: An Epistle concerning the Excellencies of the English Tongue (printed in Camden's Remains, 2nd edit.), 1605; The Examination of Men's Wits, in which, by discovering the variety of natures, is shewed for what profession each one is apt (translated from the Spanish of Huarte). 4to. London, 1594.
Admitted 17 February, 1596-7.
Eldest son of Richard Carew (q.v.), the Poet and Antiquary. Before entering at the Temple, he spent three years at the University of Oxford, and after completing his legal terms passed some time in Poland, Sweden, and France. On his return he represented Cornwall in Parliament (1614), and subsequently the borough of Michell (1620). He was created a Baronet in 1642, about a year before his death.
He was the author of a book (wrongly attributed to his father) entitled The True and Readie way to learn the Latine Tongue, greatly praised by Samuel Hartlib, and of a pamphlet entitled The Warming Stone, a treatise on the treatment of colds, which ran through many editions.
Admitted 6 August, 1612.
Second son of Sir Matthew Carew (q.v.), a Master in Chancery. He was entered of Oxford University, but neither there nor in the Temple seems to have paid much attention to his studies. He accompanied Sir Dudley Carleton as his Secretary during his Embassy to Venice and Turin, and subsequently to the States-General, but threw up his employment in a fit of temper. In 1619 he went with Lord Herbert of Cherbury to the French Court, and subsequently obtained some post about the Court of Charles I. with whom he was a favourite, and who bestowed upon him the domain of Sunninghill, part of Windsor Forest. His life was probably shortened by his irregular habits. He was an associate of most of the literary persons of the time, particularly Suckling and Davenant, and has left behind him A Masque, and other Poems, many editions of which have been published, the last and best known being that by Mr. Hazlitt, in 1870. His death occurred probably in 1639, but no record of his burial is to be found.
