QUARLES, Fravcis, in Biography, an Englifli poet, 

 born in 1592, near Rumfoi-d, in Eflex, was fon of James 

 Quarles, efq. who held an office at the navy board in the 

 reio-n of queen Elizabeth. The fubjecl of this article was 

 educated at Chrill's college in Cambridge, and was after- 

 wards entered a ftudent in Lincoln's Inn. He obtained the 

 place of cup-bearer to the queen of Bohemia, daughter to 

 James I. ; and upon his return, he w.is appointed fccretary 

 to archbifhop Ulher in Ireland, from which country lie made 

 his efcape, on the breaking out of the rebellion in 1641, after 

 tiie lofs of his property. He had before dillinguifhcd himfelf 

 by fome works, chiefly on religious fubjefts, in confidera- 

 tion of which he had a penfion from Charles I. About this 

 time he had the poll of chronologer to the city of London. 

 On the commencement of the civil wars, he gave great of- 

 fence to the parliament by a work, entitled " The Loyal 

 Convert ;" and when he aftually jomed the king at Oxford, 

 he was plundered of his eftates, his books, and manulcripts. 

 Thefe loffes he did not long furvive. He died at the age 

 of 52, in 1644. Of his numerous writings, as well in profe 

 as in verfe, the moft celebrated, and indeed that by which 

 he is almoll entirely known, is his " Emblems," a fet of 

 defigns exhibited in prints, and elucidated by fome lines at- 

 tached to each. A confiderable part of the work is bor- 

 rowed from the " Emblems" of Hermannus Hugo, but h,s 

 verfcs are his own. For a confiderable time they excited a 

 large portion of public admiration in the religious world. 

 They then fell into contempt ; but we believe a new edition 

 has of late years been given to the world. Quarles is thus 

 charafterized by an able critic : " He is by no means with- 

 out his beauties ; and his vcrfes, which are generally fmooth, 

 afford occafional burfts of fancy, and ftrokes ot pathos, 

 which fhcw real genius, though overrun with falfe talle. 

 Mr. Jackfon of Exeter, in his " Letters on various Sub- 

 jefts," endeavoured to recall the public attention to this 

 neglefted poet, and pointed out with much feeling fome of 

 his brilliant paflages ; but though curiofity may be amufed 

 by hunting for his fcattered beauties, he can never regain a 

 place among the Englilh claflical poets."

 Quarrel fecms properly to relate to perfonal aftions, or 

 at moll to mixed ones, wherein the plaintiff is called 

 qtierens ; and in all declarations of trefpafs, it is laid, que- 

 rttur. 



Yet if a man releafe all quarrels or querels, (a man's own 

 deed being taken moll llrongly agaiiiR himfelf,) quarrel in- 

 eludes all aftions ; and accordingly all aftions, both real 

 and perfonal, are hereby rcleafed. 



Quarrels or affrays in a church or church-yard are 

 efteemed very heinous offences, as being indignities to him 

 to whofe fervice thofe places are conlecrated ; therefore 

 mere quarrelfome words, which are neither an affray nor 

 an offence in any other place, are penal here. See Af- 

 fray.

 Rome, in the time of Charlemagne ; for wliich we refer to

The word is formed, by dimindtion, from the Latin 

 quadratum, or the French quarre, fquare ; or, perhaps, im- 

 mediately from the Italian quadrcllo, Ihtb fquare. 



QUARRY, in ylgrkullure, the common name of an 

 opening, pit, drift, or fhaft, which is dug into the earth or 

 ground, and from which are to be raifed ores of various 

 kinds, different forts of ftones, dates, and other materials 

 of fimilar natures. It is remarked by the writer of the 

 work on " Landed property," that the more ufcful and ad- 

 vantageous materials and fubllances that have at different 

 times been dug and raifed out of quarries in this country, 

 are chiefly thofe of the iron ore kind, lime-done, and other 

 calcareous matters, materials for building, fuch as flates, 

 flags, ilones, and fubftances of other forls, matters for the 

 conilrudling and repainng of roads, as fancl, grave', and 

 others of the fame nature, earthy fubftances for the purpofes 

 of different manufactures, fnch as clays, &c. moulds and 

 vegetable earthy matters, and coals, with other articles for 

 ufe aa fuel. There are, however, occafionally raifed from 

 openings of this nature, a few other kinds of fubftances, 

 fuch as will be noticed below. 



It has been farther fuppofed by the above writer, that the 

 fubftances which he has here mentioned, may with truth be 

 faid to be of more real ufe and value to mankind than all the 

 mines of precious m.etals in the world ; and that the eyes 

 of the managers of landed eftates (hould conftantly be turned 

 towards and fixed upon the difcovery of the hidden valuable 

 treafures and produdlions of this nature, wherever there is a 

 probability or likelihood of their being to be met with. It 

 is alfo fuggelled, that it would be highly beneficial and ad- 

 vantageous if mineralogifts, and thofe who are acquainted 

 with fuch fublfances, were to turn their attention towards 

 the appearances or accompaniments which point out fuch 

 ufeful concealed matters ; as it might greatly facilitate the 

 fearch for them, and frequently lead fortuitouily to their 

 difcovery. The methods which are praftifed in fearching 

 for and afcertaining the prefence of different forts of mate-
