 Waving a volume of small poems (1640, 8vo), besides scattered pieces 

 over yet wholly collected, and a masque, ' Ccclum Rritannicum,' 4to, 

 18J4. Carew's poem* are light and airy effusions, chiefly lyrical, and 

 all dealing with topics of a trifling kind. But their merit in their 

 own kind is grrat Thomu Campbell pronounce* him to be pre- 

 eminently beauuf ul among poet* of hii class ; and Mr. Hallam hesitates 

 hi lUlsfnilolin the preference between him and Waller, to whom he

CAKLKX, KMILIE, a Swedish novel-writer, whose works are 

 much read in England, appears to be partly of English parentage, M 

 the uamo of tier father U stated in the ' STenikt Konversat ions- 

 Lexikon' to have been Roger Smith. He wu a merchant at S' 

 tad, a small sea-port and fishing-town in the province of Bohualond, 

 close to the Norwegian frontier, where his daughter was born on the 

 8th of August 1807. In her childhood she often accompanied him on 

 his voyage*, and a familiarity with the sea and seamen, very unusual 

 in a lady novelist, U a conspicuous feature in many of her writings. 

 In 1827 she wu married to a medical man of the name of Flygare, 

 was left a widow in 1833, and in 1841 was united to her present 

 husband, Mr. CarK'n, a lawyer redding at Stockholm. Hence, in those 

 of her writings to which her name appears, she is generally desig- 

 nated Kinilio Flygare Carl^n. Her first novel, 'Waldemar Klein,' 

 wu published anonymously in 1888, when she wu living a widow at 

 Strb'mstad ; it wu so successful that in 1839 she removed to Stock- 

 holm, and the ' Svensk Bokhandels-Katalog ' contains a list of fourteen 

 novel* which isiued from her pen up to the time of its publication iu 

 1848. This activity is still continued. The first of her novels which 

 appeared in an English dress was the ' The Hose of Tistelbu,' that is, 

 'The Hose of Thistle-Island,' in 1844. It became at once popular 

 among novel readers, and not a season has since passed without one 

 or more translations from Einilie Carldn. Even the following is perhaps 

 not a complete list: ' The Birthright ;' 'Oustavus Lindorm ;' ' The 

 Hermit;' 'The Events of a Year* (also translated under the title 

 Twelve Months of Matrimony'); 'The Lover's Stratagem;' 'The 

 Maiden's Tower ;' ' Mario Louise ;' ' Woman's Life ;' ' The Temptations 

 of Wealth ;' ' A Brilliant Marriage ;' ' The Professor ' (also translated 

 under the title of ' The Professor and his Friends ') ; ' Ivar the 

 Skjuts-Boy;' 'Julie, or Love and Duty;' 'John, or a Cousin in the 

 Hand worth two Counts in the Bush.' The whole of the translations 

 first published iu England are manifestly made not from the originals, 

 but from German versions; they are however in general very w, 11 

 executed. Some of those which have been first published in America, 

 where Madame Carldn is no leas popular than in England, have been 

 made from the Swedish by Swedes, and bear marks of a foreign bond. 

 All her writings have the recommendation of being very readable, and 

 the novel-fancier who has commenced one of her stories can eeldom 

 lay it down without proceeding to the end. They are however not 

 of a kind which invite to a re-perusal, a considerable portion of the 

 interest lying in the incident, and very little in the delineation of 

 character or strength of description. On the other hand, there is in 

 the tale* of Madame Carldn none of the exaggerated sensibility which 

 sometimes ofTendi in those of Miss Bremer, the only other Swedish 

 novelist who hu found acceptance with the English and American 

 public. Indeed the moral perceptions of Madame CarK'u do not appear 

 in her writings to be over acute ; the chief lesson that can be said to 

 be inculcated in the ' Rose of Tiatel<>ii,' perhaps the best told of her 

 stories, is, that after a certain time hu elapsed, the discovery of the 

 perpetrator of a murder is an extremely inconvenient occurrence, and 

 to be avoided if possible. Tho scene of her narratives is invariably 

 laid in Sweden, which gives them to a foreign reader the additional 

 charm of introducing him to a country and state of society which, 

 till lately, had never been delineated in a popular work of fiction. The 

 critics of her native country find fault with her for writing too much, 

 and in fact by her rapidity of production she scarcely seems to allow 

 fair play to the powers she undoubtedly possesses. If ihe were to 

 reserve the right of translating her works iu England, she would secure 

 an income far beyond any that has ever been derived from the profits 

 of a Swedish copyright. 



CA'HLI, QIA'N HINA'LDO, was born in April 1720, of a noblo 

 family at Capo d'Istria, in the Venetian territory. He studied lir-l 

 at home, and afterwards at Flambro iu the Friuli, whore ho applied 

 especially to the mathematical sciences. At the age of twenty-four 

 he wu appointed by the Venetian senate professor of a new chair of 

 astronomy and navigation established at Padua. Ho invented several 

 improvements in ship-building for the Venetian navy, and had tho 

 superintendence of the naval school at Venice. After seven years ho 

 resigned his chair and returned to Istria, to attend to the management 

 of his private affairs. During this time he visited the antiquities of 

 Pula, which he afterwards detailed at length in his work on Italian 

 antiquities He had for a companion iu his researches thu uuttii.ili t 

 Vitaliano Donati, whoso work on the natural history of the Adriai ic 

 wu edited by Carli after the author's death : ' Saggio dellu . 

 Natunile Marina dell' Adiiatico,' 4to, Veuezia, 1750. In 1754 Carli 

 published the first volume of his great work, ' Hello Mouete e dellu ' 

 IsUtuzionc delle Xecche d' Italia.' (' On the History of the Coins and 

 Currency, and on the Institution of tho Mints of Italy.') The second 

 volume appeared in 1757, and the third and fourth in 1760. 

 employed nine year* in the compilation of this work, during which ho 

 inspected the cabinets of medals and tho archives of Milan, Turin, 

 Tuscany, Ac. A new edition, with corrections and additions by tho 

 author, wu published at Milan in 1785, iu 7 vols. 4to. Carli begins 

 the monetary hiatory of Italy with the mint of Odoacer at llaveun.i, 

 after the fall of the Western Empire, and comes down as for as the 

 17th century, describing and illustrating the numerous coins, national 

 and foreign, which were current in Italy during the intervening ages ; 

 their weight, title, legends, aud relative value, aud also their value.
