# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Carew, Richard (d.1643?)

1904 Errata appended.
​CAREW, Sir RICHARD (d. 1643?), writer on education, was the eldest son of Richard Carew, the poet and antiquary [q. v.] The chief facts in his life are set out in the opening sentences of his 'True and readie Way to learne the Latine Tongue.' He was put to school in his 'tender youth, and so continued for nine or ten years.' Three years were spent at the university of Oxford — he was probably the Richard Carew who matriculated at Merton College on 10 Oct. 1594 — and three more in studying law at the Middle Temple. After this course of instruction he was despatched with his uncle on an embassy to the king of Poland, and as the king was at the time on a visit in Sweden Carew followed him thither. On his return he was sent by his father into France, with Sir Henry Nevill, ambassador to Henry IV, to 'learn the French tongue,' and in the third book of Charles Fitzgeoffry's 'Afianiæ ' is an epigram addressed to him on his return from his French travels. In 1614 he was one of the members for the county of Cornwall, and in 1620 he represented Michell, a Cornish borough in which the family connections possessed great influence. He was twice married, his first wife being Bridget daughter of John Chudleigh of Devonshire, and the second wife being Miss Rolle of Heanton. He was created a baronet on 9 Aug. 1642, and his death took place about 1648. On 3 Sept. 1640 there was licensed by the Company of Stationers 'a booke called "The Warming Stone."' This was by Carew, and it was a treatise written to prove that a 'warming stone' was 'useful and comfortable for the colds of aged and sick people' and for many other diseases. The author was himself said to have been 'cured of several distempers by it,' and its virtues were attested by numerous cases around his family seat. Editions of this tract are known to have been published in 1652, 1660, and 1670. Carew was one of the persons who examined the attendants at Antony Church on the thunderstorm on Whitsunday 1640, and an account of the storm which was written by him, appeared in the 'Western Antiquary,' i. 44-5. In 1664 Samuel Hartlib published 'The true and readie way to learne Latine tongue attested by three excellently learned and approved authours of three nations,' of which Carew was the English author. Hartlib was ​apparently under the impression that it was the composition of the poetical antiquary, but it was in reality the work of his son. Carew was opposed to much grammar teaching, his wish being for translation backwards and forwards.

​CAREW or CARY, ROBERT, also called Cervinus (fl. 1325), schoolman, is stated to have been a doctor of divinity of Oxford, and to have held an eminent position as a teacher and philosopher. His works named are ‘Quæstiones in libros Posteriorum Aristotelis,’ besides the regular productions of a scholastic,—a commentary on the ‘Sentences’ of Peter Lombard, ‘Quæstiones ordinariæ,’ and expositions ‘super varios sacræ Scripturæ textus.’

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Carey, David

​CAREY, DAVID (1752–1824), journalist and poet, son of a manufacturer in Arbroath, was born in 1782. After leaving school he was placed in his father's counting-house, but subsequently he removed to Edinburgh, where he was for a short time in the publishing house of Archibald Constable. Thence he went to London and obtaining a situation on the periodical press, wrote with such keenness in support of the whig government as to attract the notice of Wyndham, who offered him a foreign appointment, which he declined. After the dissolution of the ministry of ‘all the talents’ he wrote a satire entitled ‘Ins and Outs; or, the State of Parties, by Chrononhotonthologos,’ which met at once with an extensive sale. In 1807 he became editor of the ‘Inverness Journal,’ which he left in 1812 to conduct the ‘Boston Gazette.’ In a few months, however, he renewed his connection with the London press, which for the remainder of his life occupied his principal attention. In 1822 he spent some time in Paris, and on his return published ‘Life in Paris,’ written chiefly in a humorous vein, with apposite coloured illustrations. His visit to Paris having failed to restore his shattered health, he returned to his father's house at Arbroath, where he died of consumption after eighteen months' illness on 4 Oct. 1824. Besides the works above mentioned, two novels—‘The Secrets of the Castle,’ 1806, and ‘Lochiel; or, the Field of Culloden,’ 1812—and ‘ Picturesque Scenes; or, a Guide to the Highlands,’ 1811, Carey was the author of several volumes of verse displaying some taste and fancy, although the sentiment is for the most part commonplace and hackneyed. He edited the ‘Poetical Magazine; or, Temple of the Muses,’ 1804, consisting chiefly of his own poems, and published separately ‘Pleasures of Nature; or, the Charms of Rural Life, and other Poems,’ 1803; ‘The Reign of Fancy, a Poem with Notes,’ 1803; ‘Lyric Tales, &c’ 1804; ‘Poems chiefly Amatory,’ 1807; ‘Craig Phadrig: Visions of Sensibility, with Legendary Tales, and occasional Pieces and Historical Notes,’ 1810; and ‘The Lord of the Desert: Sketches of Scenery; Foreign and Domestic Odes, and other Poems,’ 1812.

When Carew next appeared as an author it was in topographical literature. 'The Svrvey of Cornwall. Written by Richard Carew of Antonie, Esquire,' had been long in hand, though it was not published until 1602, the subscription on the last leaf being 'Deo gloria, mihi gratia, 1602, April 23.' He meditated in 1606 the issuing of a second edition, 'not so much for the enlarging it as the correcting mine and the printer's oversights,' but it was not republished before 1723, when there was prefixed to it a 'life of the author by H**** C*****,' a catch-penny device intended to delude the world with the belief that it was the composition of a member of the family of Carew, but it was in reality a dull compilation by Pierre des Maizeaux. The 'Survey' and the life were reissued in 1769, and another edition of the 'Survey,' with notes by Thomas Tonkin, was printed for Lord De Dunstanville in 1811. Carew's history of Cornwall still remains one of the most entertaining works in the English language. In its pages may be discerned the character of an English gentleman in the brightest age of our national history, interesting himself in the pursuits of all around him and skilled in the pastimes of every class. The industries of the county and its topographical peculiarities are depicted with considerable detail, and if there is little genealogical information in its pages the characters of its celebrities are described with quaintness and with kindliness. Carew's 'pleasant and faithfull description' of Cornwall was the phrase of Fuller, and the words were well chosen. He was also the author of 'An Epistle concerning the excellencies of the English tongue,' which appeared in the second edition of Camden's 'Remains,' 1605, and was reprinted with the 1723 and 1769 editions of the 'Survey of Cornwall.' The merits assigned by him to the language are significancy, easiness to be learnt, copiousness, and sweetness. This little essay possesses the charm which is inherent in all Carew's writings, but it would have passed out of recollection by this time but for its mention, in a comparison of English and foreign writers, of Shakespeare's name. A manuscript volume of his poems was formerly in the possession of the Rev. John Prince, the commemorator of the worthies of Devon. Mr. James Crossley suggested that Carew might be the R. C. who translated Henry Stephens's 'World of Wonders,' 1607 (Notes and Queries, 6th ser., viii. 247, 1877). Several of his letters to Camden are among the 'Cottonian MSS.,' (Julius C. v.) A letter to Sir Robert Cotton is printed in 'Letters of Eminent Literary Men' (Camden Soc., 1848, pp. 98-100).

​BAILY, CHARLES (1815–1878), architect and archaeologist, third son of William Baily, of 71 Gracechurch Street, London, and East Dulwich and Standon, Dorking, Surrey, was born 10 April 1815. His independent architectural work included the building of St. John's Church, East Dulwich, and the restoration of Barnard's Inn Hall,, and of Leigh Church (with new tower), near Tunbridge, Kent. He was for some years principal assistant to the City architect, London, in which capacity he took a leading part in constructing the new roofing of the Guildhall and in the building of the Corporation Library. In January 1844 Baily was elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and was also a prominent member of various archaeological societies. To the fourth volume of the serial published by the Surrey Archaeological Society he contributed 'Remarks on Timber Houses,' with many admirable illustrations by himself. Baily was long associated with Mr. G. R. French in the production of the noble 'Catalogue of the Antiquities and Works of Art exhibited at Ironmongers' Hall, London, in the month of May 1831,' 2 vols, 4to, 1869, and was ​master of the Ironmongers' Company in 1874-5. He died at Reigate 2 Oct. 1878.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Baillie, William (1723-1810)

​BAILLIE, WILLIAM (1723–1810), amateur engraver and etcher, was born at Kilbride, in the county of Carlow, 5 June 1723. He was educated in Dublin under Dr. Sheridan, and at the age of eighteen came to London and entered the Middle Temple for the purpose of studying the law, but he soon accepted a commission in the army, and fought in the 13th foot at Culloden, and in the 51st foot at Minden. He afterwards exchanged into the cavalry, but retired from the service in 1701 with the rank of captain in the 18th light dragoons, and in 1773 was appiointed a commissioner of stamps, which office he held until 1795. Both before and after leaving the army Baillie devoted his leisure entirely to art, until he was considered one of the most accomplished counoisseurs of his time. He practised engraving in nearly all its branches, blending mezzotint and etching with great success, but he shone most in his imitations of Rembrandt, whose 'Hundred Guilder ' print he exhibited at the Society of Artists in Spring Gardens in 1776, in two different states, before and after his reworking of the original plate which he had acquired in Holland. A few of his smaller pieces are etched after his own designs, but by far the larger number of his plates are executed in a mixed manner after the paintings or drawings of eminent masters of the Dutch and Flemish schools. He produced upwards of a hundred plates, of which he was himself the publisher, but nearly all were collected and issued in two folio volumes by Alderman Boydell in 1792, and reissued in 1803. Baillie died at Paddington, 22 Dec. 1810. His best known works are his restoration of Rembrandt's plate of 'Christ healing the Sick,' commonly called the 'Hundred Guilder' print; his completion in mezzotint of Rembrandt's own etching of 'Jesus disputing with the Doctors;' and his copies of the same master's 'Three Trees' and 'The Gold Weigher.' Besides these may be mentioned his etchings of Rembrandt's 'Christ and the Two Disciples at Emmaus' and 'Burial of Jacob' (often miscalled the 'Entombment of Christ'), Rubens's 'Christ washing the Feet of the Apostles,' Van den Eeckhout's 'Susannah and the Elders before Daniel,' Terborch's equestrian portrait of William, prince of Orange, and 'The Sacrifice of Abraham' and a very spirited whole-length figure of 'An Officer' from his own designs. His principal works in mezzotint are a whole-length portrait of James, duke of Monmouth, after Netscher and Wyck, a half-length of Frans Hals, the Dutch painter, after himself, and 'The Piping Boy,' after Nathaniel Hone. He also etched a small head of himself, and engraved in stipple another portrait of himself after Nathaniel Hone.

​BAILLIE, WILLIAM, Lord Provand (d. 1593), Scottish judge, of the family of Baillie of Lamington, first appears as a judge of the court of session, 15 Nov. 1550. He was appointed president of the court on the death of John Sinclair, bishop of Brechin, in 1566. On 6 Dec. 1567, he was deprived of this office, in favour of Sir James Balfour, by the regent Murray, on the pretext that the act of institution required it to be held by a person of the spiritual estate. Balfour was in turn removed in 1568, when he was accused of participation in Darnley's murder, and Baillie, being reinstated, held the office till his death, 26 May 1593.

As you already know, Prof. Verrill now says our strange creature cannot be a cephalopod and that he cannot say to what animal it belongs. I do not see how it can be any part of a cetacean as Prof. V. says you suggest. It is simply a great big bag and I do not see how it could be any part of a whale. Now that I have had it brought 6 miles up the beach it is out of the way of the tide and the drifting sand and will have a chance to cure or dry up somewhat. If it were not for the soft mass of the viscera which was so difficult to remove that we left it there would be but little odour. As it is there is no great amount.

I made another excursion to the invertebrate and brought away specimens for you and for Dr. Verrill of Yale. I cut two pieces of the mantle and two pieces from the body and have put them in a solution of formalin for a few days before I send them to you. Although strange as it may seem to you, I could have packed them in salt and sent them to you at once although the creature had been lying on the beach for more than two months. And I think that both yourself and Dr. Verrill, while not doubting my measurements, have thought my account of the thickness of the muscular, or rather tendonous husk pretty large, so I am glad to send you the specimens and I will express them packed in salt in a day or two.

A good part of the mantle or head remains attached near to the more slender part of the body . . . The body was then opened for the entire length of 21 feet . . . The slender part of the body was entirely empty of internal organs. And the organs of the remainder were not large and did not look as if the animal had been so long dead . . . The muscular coat which seems to be all there is of the invertebrate is from two and three to six inches in thickness.

# De Appile-Tree

From The Century Magazine, Dec 1902.
A (paean (sort of) to Adam an' Eve un' de appile-tree. To be sung in the voice of Harry Belafonte.
DE APPILE-TREE
BY JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS
Dat's a mighty quare tale 'bout de Appile-tree In de Pa'dise gyarden whar Adam run free, Whar de butterflies drunk honey wid ol' Mammy Bee. Talk 'bout good times! I bet you he had 'em— Adam— Ol' man Adam un' de Appile-tree.
He woke one mornin' wid a pullin' at his sleeve; He open one eye, an' dar wuz Eve; He shuck her han', wid "Honey, don't you grieve!" Talk 'bout good times! I bet you dey had 'em— Adam- Adam an' Eve un' de Appile-tree.
Den Eve tuck a bite er de Appile fruit, An' Adam he bit, an' den dey scoot (Dar's whar de niggers l'arned de quick callyhoot), An' run an' hid behime de fig-tree. Talk about troubles! I bet you dey had 'em— Adam— Adam an' Eve behime de fig-tree.
Dey had der frolics an' dey had der flings, An' den atter dat der fun tuck wings. Honey mighty sweet, but bees got stings. Talk about hard times! I bet you dey had 'em— Adam— Adam an' Eve behime de fig-tree.
Kaze out er dat gyarden dey had fer ter skin, Fer ter look fer de crack whar Satan crope in. Dey s'arch fur an' wide, an' dey s'arch mighty well— Eve she knowed, but she 'fuse fer ter tell. Ol' Satan's trail wuz all rubbed out, Ceppin' a track er two whar he walked about. Talk about troubles! Well, I bet you dey had 'em— Adam— Adam an' Eve an' all der kin.
An' when dey got back, de gate wuz shot, An' dat wuz de pay what Adam got. In dat gyarden he went no mo'; De overseer gi' 'im a shovel an' a hoe, A mule an' plow, an' a swingletree. Talk about hard times! I bet you dey had 'em— Adam— An' all er his chillun, bofe slave an' free; Dey had 'em— Bekaze er de fruit er de Appile-tree.

# Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900/Chisholm, Walter

1904 Errata appended.
​CHISHOLM, WALTER (1856–1877), poet, son of a Berwickshire shepherd, was born at Easter Harelaw, near Chirnside, on 21 Dec. 1856. When little more than twelve years old he was obliged to leave school in order to assist his father, who was then (Whitsuntide 1865) shepherd at Redheugh, a farm in the eastern part of Cockburnshaw parish. It was probably while tending sheep on the western borders of Coldingham Moor that Chisholm first attempted composition, for by the time he was about sixteen or seventeen ‘it began to be whispered among the neighbours that Walter was making verses.’ At Whitsuntide 1875 his father removed to the neighbouring farm of Dowlaw, and during the summer of that year Chisholm, having ‘hired himself out,’ was shepherding in the Yetholm district, by the side of the Bowmont. In the winter he returned home, and attended for a short time his old school at Old Cambus. By this time some of his poems, with the signature of ‘Wattie,’ had found their way into the ‘Poets’ Corner’ of the ‘Haddington Courier,’ and were copied into various local papers. Others appeared in the ‘People’s Friend;’ while in the competition promoted by the ‘People’s Journal’ his lines entitled ‘Scotia’s Border Land’ gained the second prize at Christmas 1876. In the spring of the last-named year Chisholm went ​ to stay with some relatives in Glasgow, where he found employment as light porter in a leather warehouse. While visiting his parents at the new year of 1877 he was seized with a severe attack of leurisy, from which he never recovered. He died at Dowlaw on 1 Oct. 1877, when within three months of completing his twenty-first year. His poems found a sympathetic editor in Mr. Cairns, formerly of Old Cambus.
