A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF 
[CARRINGTON 
Carew, in due course, appears to have settled down at Ms 
ancestral seat of Antonie, and to have studied agriculture 
and husbandry to such purpose that “ he was accounted 
among his Neighbours the 'greatest Husband and most 
excellent Manager of Bees in Cornwall.” He became High 
Sheriff of his County in 1586, and in 1599 was “ Colonel of 
a Regiment consisting of five companies, or 500 men, armed 
with 170 Pikes, 300 Musquets, and 30 Calivers, 1 appointed 
for Causam Bay.” 
In 1589 Carew was elected a member of the College of 
Antiquaries, a Society which at that time was about to apply 
to Queen Elizabeth for a Royal Charter — “ But as fair as 
the Hopes of this famous College appeared in its Bloom, 
they were soon blighted by the Death of that ever-memorable 
Princess ” and all “ their applications to her successor, 
proved vain and unsuccessful. But what else could be 
expected from a Man . . . whose Genius and taste were as 
low and mean as his Soul and Inclinations ! ” 
Richard Carew died on the 6th day of November 1620, 
in the sixty-third year of his age, and lies buried in the 
Church of East Antonie among Ms ancestors. (Of. article
