CAREW' (George), born in Devonfhire in 1557, an 
eminent commander in Ireland, was made prelident of 
Munder by queen Elizabeth ; when, joining his forces with 
the earl of Thomond, he reduced the IrifTi infurgents, and 
brought-the earl of Defmond to his trial. King James 
made him governor of Guernfey, and created him a ba¬ 
ron. As he was a valiant commander, he was no lefs a 
polite fcholar; and wrote Peccata Hibernia, a hiflory of 
the wars in Ireland, printed after his death in 1633. He 
made feveral collections for a hiflory of Henry V. which 
are digefted into Speed’s Hiflory of Great Britain. Be- 
fides thefe, he collected materials of Irifh hiflory in four 
lafs-e M'S. volumes, preferved in the Bodleian library, 
Oxford. 
CAREW' (Thomas), defeended from the Carew family 
in Gloncefierfhire,was gentleman of the privy chamber to 
^Charles I. who always efleemed him one of the mod cele¬ 
brated wits of his court. He was much refpeCted by the 
poets of his time, particularly by Ben Johnfon and Sir 
Win. Davenant; and left behind him feveral poems, and 
r. mafque, called Cxlutn Britaunicuin , performed atWhite- 
•hall on Shrove-Tuefday night, 1633, by the king, and fe- 
verahof his nobles, with their Tons.. Carew was aflified 
in the contrivance by Inigo Jones, the celebrated archi¬ 
tect; and the mafic was fetby Mr. Henry Lawes, of the 
king’s chapel. He died in the year 1639. 
CAREW' (Richard), author of the “ Survey of Corn¬ 
wall,” was the elded foil of Thomas Carew, of Ead An¬ 
thony, and was born in 1555. When very young, he be¬ 
came a gentleman commoner of Chrid-church college, 
Oxford ; and at 14 years of age had the honour of deput¬ 
ing, extempore, with the afterwards famous Sir.Philip 
.Sydney, in the prefence of the earls of Leiceder,Warwick, 
and other nobility. After fpending three years at the 
univerfity, he removed to the Middle Temple. In 1589 
he was elected a member of the college of Antiquaries, a 
diflinCtion to which he was entitled by his literary abilities 
,and purfuits. What particularly engaged his attention 
was his. native county, his Survey of which was publiflied 
in 4to, at London, in 1602. It has been twice reprinted, 
fu ll in 1723, and 116x11111769. Of this work Camden has 
fpokenin high terms, and acknowledges his obligations to 
-theauthor. In the prefent improved date of topographi¬ 
cal knowledge, and lince Dr. Borlafe’s excellent publica¬ 
tions relative to the county of Cornwall, the value of Ca- 
rew’s Survey mud be greatly diminifiied. 
CAREW' (George), brother to the preceding,was edu¬ 
cated in the univerfity of Oxford, after which lie dudied 
the law, and was Called to the bar ; and, after fome time, 
was appointed fecretary to Sir Chridopher Hatton, lord 
chancellor of England ; this was by the recommenda¬ 
tion of queen El zabetli, who gave him a prothonofary- 
diip in the chancery, and conferred upon him the honour 
.of knighthood, In 1397, Sir George Carew, who was 
then a mader in chancery, was Cent ambalfador to the.king 
of Poland.- In the next reign he was one of the commif- 
fioners for treating with the Scotch concerning the union; 
Tier which he was appointed ambalfadqr to the court of 
CAR 
France, where he continued from the year 1603 till 1609. 
During his refidence in that country, he formed an inti¬ 
macy with the celebrated Thuanus, to whom he commu¬ 
nicated an account of the transactions in Poland, wliild he 
was employed there, which was of great fervice to that 
admirable author in drawing up the 121b book of his his¬ 
tory. After Sir George Carew’s return from France, he 
was advanced to the important pod of mader of the court 
of wards, which fituation he did not live long to enjoy; for 
it appears from a letter written by Thuanus to Camden in 
the fpring of 1613, that he was then lately deceafed. Sir 
GeorgeCarew married Thomaline,daughter of SirFrancis 
Godolphin, great grandfather of the lord treafurer Godol- 
phin,and had by ber two fons and three daughters. When 
Sir George Carew returned from his French embafly, he 
drew up, and addreded to James I. “ A Relation of the 
State of France, with the Characters of Henry IV. and 
the principal Perfons of that Court.” The characters are 
drawn from perfonal knowledge and clofe obfervation, and 
might be of fervice to a general hidorian of that period. 
This valuable traft lay for a long time in MS. till, falling 
into the hands of the earl of Hardwick, it was communi¬ 
cated by him to Dr. Birch, who publidied it in 1749, at the 
end of his “ Hidorical View of the Negociations between 
the courts of England, France, and Bruffels, from 1592 to 
1617.” That intelligent writer judly obferves, that it is 
a mode! upon which ambaffadors may form and diged their 
notions and reprefentations; and the celebrated poet, Gray, 
hath fpokenofltas an excellent performance.

The Sedge; in botany, a genus of the clafs monoecia, 
order triandria, natural order calamarias. The generic 
characters are—I. Male flowers difpofed in a fpike. Ca¬ 
lyx: ament oblong, imbricate, conftant; feales one-flow¬ 
ered, lanceolate, acute, concave, permanent. Corolla: 
none. Stamina: filaments three, bridle-fliaped, ereCt, 
longer than the calyx; antherae erect, long, linear.—II. Fe¬ 
male flowers in the fame plant. , Calyx : ament, as in the 
male. Corolla: petals none; neCtary inflated, ovate-ob¬ 
long, bidentated at the tip, contracted upwards, gaping at 
the mouth, permanent. Pidillum: germ three-lided, 
within the neCtary ; fiyle very fiiort; fligmas three or two, 
fubulate, incurved, long, acuminate, pubefeent. Pericar- 
pium : none ; the neCtary grown larger protects the feed. 
Seed fingle, ovate-acute, three-fided, one angle being ge¬ 
nerally lefs than the others.— EJJ'entiaL Character. Ament 
imbricate; calyx one-leafed ; corolla none. Female: nec¬ 
tary inflated, three toothed ; digmas three; feed three- 
fided, within the neCtary. 
Drfcription. Thefe plants are very nearly allied to the 
grades, and agree with them in their general appearance, 
leaves, and placentation. They are, however, of a much 
hardier texture; and the dem is not hollow, but filled 
with a fporigy fubdance; it is frequently three-cornered. 
The difference in the fructification is very confiderable, as 
will appear from a comparifon of the generic characters. 
Mod of the fpecies grow in wet fwampy grounds, in bogs, 
fens, marflies, or by the (ides of ditches and rivers, or in 
moid woods ; fome few, however, afieCt hilly paflures and 
heaths. They are perennial, and flower in May and June, 
or from April to July-and Augud. Linnaeus has divided 
Ills genus into five feCtions; the two fird comprifing the 
fpecies with androgynous fpikes, and the three lad thofe 
which have tIre male or barren, and the female or fertile, 
fpikes, diftinCt. In the third and fourth feCtions, the dif- 
tinction turns upon the female (pikes being fellile or pe- 
duncled, which cultivation, or a cafual luxuriant growth, 
does away. They are alfo fiylefi feffile or Cub fellile by 
Linnaeus, when in reality they are peduncled, the pedun¬ 
cles being only covered by the (heath. This has induced 
Dr. Goodenough to fubffitute the proportion which the 
(heath.of the leafy bracte bears to the peduncle: and this 
aillinCtion is not liable to any difficulty ; for, if the pedun¬ 
cle be u-nufually long or Short, in confequcnce.of the luxu-
