CARDWELL, Edward, "iscoiinl ( ISl.S-Sl!). An English politician. He was born in Liver- pool, was educated at Winchester and at Balliol College, Oxford, and was admitted to the bar in 1838. He devoted himself to politics, however, rather than to the law, and entered Parliament in 1842. There he attached himself, personally as well as ])olitically, to Sir Robert Peel, who cdiose him Secretary of the Treasury in 1845, and president of the Board of Trade in 1852. He was subsequently Chief Secretary for Ireland, Chan- cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, and Secretary of State for the Colonies. In Gladstone's Cabi- net (1868) he became Secretary of War and a member of the committee of the council of edu- cation. In the ar Office he effected a reorgani- zation of the army. His reforms included the abolition of the purchase of commissions, the retirement of officers, short terms of service, the localization of regiments, and improvements in militar.y education. In 1874 he was raised to the peerage. ^Vith Earl Stanhope, lie was one of the literary executors of Sir Robert Peel, and one of the editors of the Peel Memoirs (185G-57). CARELESS.

A comedy by Edward Ravenscroft, produced at Dorset Garden in 1073 and published the same year. It is partly foun<led on Monsieur de Pourceaugnac, and contains an attack on Dryden's Assignation. CAREME, ka'rum', !M.rie Antoine (1784- 1833). A famous French cook. He was born in Paris and became chef de cuisine to many celebrated persons, among whom was Talleyrand. While in his service, Careme played, in a way, a ])rominent role in the Congress of Vienna. He left several works on subjects connected with cookery, which include Le patissier pittoresque (1815) ; Le pulissier royal parisien (1825) ; Le maitre d'hOtcl franf-ais in 2 vols.; and Le cuisinier parisien. CARET, kA'rft' (NeoLat. caretta, from Sp. careta, pasteboard mask, dim. of cara, face, Gk. xdpa, kara, Skt. siras, head ). A turtle. See Hawksbill. CAREW, karoo', George, Baron Carew of Clapton and Earl of Totnes (155,5-1629). An English soldier and statesman. He .was educated at Oxford and joined the army, holding an im- portant command in the Irish wars against the Earl of Desmond. He filled several offices, among them that of Lord Justice of Ireland, and was an intimate friend of Sir Walter Raleigh. The powerful sujjport that he gave to Lord Mount- joy enabled the latter to overcome the rebellious O'Xeil, Earl of Tyrone, and his Spanish allies. For these services he was raised to the ix'crage and made a privy councilor, and in 1620 Charles I. created him Earl of Totnes. He had anti- quarian tastes, and carefully preserved many nianuscri])ts relating to Ireland. J'acata Hi- hernia, or the History of the Late Wars in Ire- land, ])ublislied after his death, is often ascribed to him, though it was written by Sir Thomas Stafford from Carew's papers, CAREW, RicuARi) (1555-1020). Aji Eng- lish poet and antiquarian. While a student at O.xford, when only fourteen, he was chosen to dispute extemporaneously with Sir Philip Sid- ney, in the presence- of an audience of noblemen. He was a member of Parliament, high sheriff of Cornwall, and the author of a Survey (1002) of that county, a work that enjoyed a great rej)u- tation, and still has considerable value. He translated, from the Italian, the first five can- tos of Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered and left a manuscript volume of poems. CAREW, TitOMAs (1508-1038). An English poet. Of his life very little is known. He was a son of .Sir Jlatthew Carew, of Middle-Littleton, Worcestershire, a master in Chancery, and was ,born probably in 1598. From Westminster School he went to Corpus Christi College, Ox- ford, but left about 1015, without a degree. "Af- terwards," says Anthony Wood, "improving his parts by traveling and conversation with in- genious men in the metro])olis, he became reck- oned among the chiefest of his time for delicacy of wit and ])oetic fancy. About which time, being taken into the Royal Coiirt for his most admirable ingenuity, he was made t^ntleman of the Privy-Chamber, and Sewer in Orilinary to King Charles I." The King bestowed on him the royal domain of Sunning Hill, a part of Wind- sor Forest. Carew died, it would seem, early in 1638, He was the first of a group of lyrists, often classed as Cavalier poets, to the making of whom two influences contributed: the Eliza- bethan lyrists, especially Ben .Jonson, and the pretty conceits of Dr. Donne. Carew's theme is love, which is treated with great frankness and with a luxuriant imagination. His verses are often very sweet and beautiful. He pub- lished, in 1034, a masque entitled Caelum Hritan- nicuni ; but his poems did not appear until 1040, some time after his death. Recent editions are by Hazlitt, for the Ro.xburghe Library (London, 1870): l)y Ebsworth (London. 1893): and by Vincent for the Muses Library (London, 1899). The last-named editor would identify the subject of this sketch with the Thomas Carew who entered Merton College, Oxford, in 1008, at the age of thirteen, and received the degree of B.A. in 1011. He also argues for 1639 as date of death. CA'REX. See Cyi'erace.s. CA'REY, Henry (1692-1743). An English humorous poet and musician, born in London. He was a rei)uted son of George Savillc, the fa- mous Marquis of Halifax. After studying music
