of setting out for England, in 1605. On arriving in London, Luisa assembled a little community similar to the former one at Pampelima. She spent hrr time in visiting those i 1 1 prison, and going to the houses of others in danger of apprehension. She had the happiness of ministering to Father Roberts, O. S. B., and Thomas Somers, a secular priest, immediately before their martyrdom. Her life attracted t he attention of the authorities, who said she was doing more to convert Protestants than twenty priests. On two occasions pretexts were found for putting her in prison; on each occasion she was released at the instance of the Spanish ambassador. Attempts were then made with the latter to procure her removal from the kingdom. These would probably in the end have succeeded. had they not been prevented by her death which occurred on her forty-sixth birthday.

A Spanish Life was published in 1632; Lady Georgian* Fl'LLKRTOX, Life of Louisa de Carvajal, in Quarterly Series (London, 1S73. 1881, 1889).

Carve, Thomas, historian, b. in Co. Tipperary, Ireland, 1590; d. probably in 1072. His correct name ( arew, that of a family of great influence in Munster during the fifteenth and sixteenth cent- uries. From his own works it is clear that the Butlers of Ormonde were his patrons during his early years. It is not certain where he was educated, "but he was ordained priest, and passed some years in an Irish diocese. On the invitation of Walter Butler, then Colonel of an Irish regiment serving in Austria, he left Ireland and remained for some time as chaplain to Butler's regiment. He returned to Ire- land twice (1030, 1632), and on the death of Butler he acted as chaplain to Devereux, Butler's successor in the command of the Irish forces fighting under Ferdi- nand II. He accompanied the troops during several of the campaigns of the Thirty Years' War, and had thus a gooil opportunity of observing the events re- corded in his history of the war. In 1040 he was ap- pointed chaplain to the English, Scotch, and Irish forces in Austria, and continued to hold that position till 1013, when he went to reside at Vienna as a choral vicar of the Cathedra] of St. Stephen. His last book was published at Sulzbach in 1072. The principal works from his pen are: (1) "Itinerarium R. D. Thomte Carve Tipperariensis, Sacellani majoris in ford .una juxta tt nobihssimi Ugicne strcnuicsinn Colonelli D. W. Devereux". etc. (Mainz, 1030 41. pts. I-II;Speyer, 1648, HI: new ed., 1 vol., 1010-41). A new edition of the whole work was published at Lon- don, 185(1. It gives a good account of the Thirty Years' War. In connexion with the mysterious career of Wallenstein it is particularly valuable. (2) " Rerum Germaniearu I 7 ad annum lOUgestarum

Epitome" (1641). (3) "Lyra seu Anacephakeosis Hibernica. in qua de exordio, seu origine. nomine, moribus ritibusque tientis Hibernicse succinte tracta- tur, cui quoque accessere Annales ejusdem Hibernis necnon rerum gestarum per Europam 1148-1650" (Vienna. 1651; 2nd ed., Sulzbach, 1666). (4) "En- chiridion apologetieum Noribergai" (1670). (5)"Re- sponsio veridiea ad illotum libellum cui nomen Ana- tomicum examen IV Antonii Bruodini, etc" (Sulz- bach, B. 7J

James MacCajtret.

Caryll, .h.iix, poet, dramatist, and diplomatist, b. at West Hart ing. England. 1625; d.1711; not to be confounded with his nephew, John Caryl], immortal- ized by a line in Pope's " Rape of the Lock ". He was head of an old English Catholic and royalist family at that time settled at West Harting, in Sussex. His

father, of whom he was heir, was likewise named John; his mother was a daughter of William, second Baron Petre. Of his education he received part, at the Eng- lish college of Saint-Omer, in Artois, pari at the Eng- lish College in Rome. During the reign of Charles II he produced several plays and poems of morel ban aver- age merit. In poetry his chief performances were a translation of Ovid's Epistle of Briseis to Achilles, first appearing in 16S0 in a work entitled "Ovid's Epistles, translated by several hands", and after- wards separately; also a translation of Vergil's first Eclogue, printed in Nichol's "Select Collection of Miscellany Poems" and published in Kis3. His plays, both of them brought out at the Duke of York's Theatre, were a tragedy written in 1666 and called "The English Princess, or the death of Richard III" (Samuel Pepys, who saw this piece acted 7 March, 1007, found it no more than "pretty good"), and a comedy entitled "Sir Solomon Single, or the Cautious Coxcomb", which came out in 1071, upon the pattern of Moliere's " Ecole des Femmes". In 1679, during the national madness brought on by Titus Oates's pretended " Popish Plot", Caryll, as a I !al holic of dis- tinction, was committed to the Tower of London, whence he had the good luck soon to be let out on bail. W'hen James II succeeded to the throne in 16S5, he sent Caryll as his agent to the court of Pope Innocent XI, withdrawing him some months later upon the Earl of Castlemaine's appointment to that post. Caryll was then appointed secretary to Queen Mary of Modena, in whose service he continued after the Revolution of 1688, when he followed the exiled royal family across the sea to Saint-Germain. From his voluntary expatriation, however, there ensued no confiscation of his property until lliitli, when, by reason of his implication in one of the plots to over- throw William III, he having furnished money for that purpose, his estate at West Harting was declared forfeited and himself attainted. His life interest in West Harting was thereon granted to Lord Cutts, but redeemed by Caryll's nephew aforesaid for £6,000. The dethroned King James II died in 1701, being suc- ceeded in his rights and claims by his son, the so-called Pretender, who as King James III conferred upon Caryll the empty title of Baron Caryll of Dunford and the otlice of one of his secretaries of state. Mean- while, in 1700, Caryll had published anonymously an- other work, this time in prose, entitled "The I'sahnes of David, translated from the Vulgat". He died 4 September, 1711, and was buried at Paris in the church of the Scotch college, of which he had been a benefactor and where there was set up a tablet to his memory. He left no issue. His wile was Mar- garet, a daughter and co-heir of Sir Maurice Drum- mond. One of his sisters, Mary, became first abbess of the English Benedictine nuns at Dunkirk. The last of the Caryll family, a grandson of the above mentioned nephew, died in poverty at Dunkirk in 1788.

Carystus, a titular see of Greece. According to legend it was named after Carystus, a son of Chiron. The ancient city is often mentioned by geographers, chiefly on account of its beautiful marble and its amianth obtained from Mount Oche. The see was at first a suffragan of Corinth, but early in the ninth century was made a suffragan of Athens and before 1579 of Euripos (Chalcis). Only two Greek bishops are mentioned by Lequien (II, 197): Cyriacus, who subscribed the letter of the bishops of Hellas to the Emperor Leo in 458, and Joel at the beginning of the eighteenth century At least another titular may be mentioned, Demetrius, a friend of Michael Aco- minatos, the famous Metropolitan of Athens in the
