DEA felt his honour at stake, and if permitted by Mountjoy would himself have undertaken its reduction and surrender in accordance with the terms of capitulation. Much of his time between the capture of Kinsale and his return to Spain on 8th March 1601-'2, was spent in company with Sir George Carew at Cork. They became friends, and after Don Juan's arrival in Spain he sent Sir George a present of wine and fruits. Sir George in his letter of acknowledgment says: "I am much grieved then to see that this country produces not anything worthy to be presented to your lordship, that I might in some proportion manifest in what esteeme I hold the favour of a man of your qualities, honour, and merit." No particulars concerning the life of Don Juan d'Aguila before or after his Irish expedition appear available. The name is spelled indifferently D'Aguila, D'Aquila, and D'Aquilla. Full particulars of the siege of Kinsale will be found in Pacata Hibernia and the Carew Papers, and an admirable summary in Haverty's Ireland.  Dean, Hugh, an Irish artist in the 18th century, who early attained considerable excellence in landscape. The then Lord Palmerston enabled him to visit Rome to complete his studies, but was ultimately obliged to abandon him on account of the irregularity of his conduct. In 1780 Dean gave an exhibition of his paintings in London. He soon afterwards became a Methodist preacher. He is supposed to have died in 1784.  De Barry, Robert, an Anglo-Norman knight who distinguished himself in the invasion of Ireland. He was grandson of Nesta. [See .] In 1169 he accompanied his uncle FitzStephen in the expedition to Ireland, and nearly lost his life in the assault on Wexford. His bravery obtained for him the cognomen of "Barrymore." He fell in battle at Lismore in 1185. His brother, Giraldus Cambrensis, styles him "a young knight, that for his worthiness cared not for his life, and was rather ambitious to be really eminent than to seem so. The less he coveted honour, the more it clung to him." He speaks of another brother, Philip de Barry, who obtained large estates in Ireland, as "a man of prudence and courage."  De Barry, Gerald (Giraldus Cambrensis), younger brother of the preceding, a distinguished author and ecclesiastic, was born at the castle of Manorbeer in Pembrokeshire, in 1147. He studied principally at Paris, and in 1175 was created Archdeacon of Brecknock. In 1184 he was invited to court by Henry II., and became one of his chaplains. Next year he accompanied Prince John in his expedition to Ireland. He employed much of his time here in collecting materials for his Topography of Ireland and History of the Conquest of Ireland. Mr. Brewer, in editing the former work, remarks: "With all that has been done since by modern topographers trained in the more scientific habits of observation, the conception of his task, as it existed in the mind of Giraldus, if not the execution of it, must remain as a monument of a bold and original genius… In the first [Book] the author gives an account of the physical features of the island, including in it the history of its more remarkable productions… In the second [Book], devoted exclusively to the marvels of Ireland, full scope is given to the credulity of his age: it is fooled to the top of its bent." The Third Book is devoted to the ancient annals of the country, and the manners and customs of the inhabitants. This work, which appeared in 1187, was dedicated to Henry 11. It was followed by his History of the Conquest of Ireland, "not only," says Mr, Brewer, "the most valuable of all our author's works, but [one which] as a historical monograph may challenge comparison with any work of a similar nature… The personal sketches of the chief leaders in the expedition, which are numerous, are drawn with masterly precision. The only drawback is the occurrence of artificial orations… The Conquest of Ireland is a noble specimen of historical narration, of which the author's age furnished very rare specimens. Events have been carefully gathered, examined, and arranged; battlefields, sieges, and marches verified by ocular inspection of routes and localities; accounts on both sides tested. No personal labour has been spared by the historian in collecting, or sifting, or placing his materials in their most lucid order; no efforts have been wanting which the most rigid historical fidelity could demand." Giraldus returned to England after the Easter of 1186, and almost immediately gave public readings of his works at Oxford. Many years of his life were occupied in unceasing litigations and journeyings, which in the end proved unavailing, to have himself confirmed by the Pope in the see of St. David's, to which on the 29th June 1199 he had been unanimously elected by the Chapter. After these events his name disappears from the page of history. The date of his death is uncertain. Mr. Brewer does not find any authority for the age generally ascribed to him at his death—74, which 125
