the Integral Calculus, tinder the title of u A Method of 
meafnring Surfaces and Solids, and finding their Centres 
of Gravity, Pcrcufiion, and Oscillation.” ' He afterwards 
difcovered Come errors in the work, and was candid enough 
to own and correct titem in a I'ubfeqnent edition. In a 
little time M. Carre became alfociate, and at length one 
of the penlioners, of the academy. And, as this was a fuf- 
fi.eient eftablilliment for one who knew fo well how to 
keep his defires within juft and reafonable bounds, he gave 
himfelf up entirely to ftudy ; and, as lie enjoyed the ap¬ 
pointment of mechanician, he applied himfelf more parti¬ 
cularly to mechanics. He took alfo a Purvey of every 
branch relating to mufic ; ftich as the doctrine of founds, 
and the defeription of muficai inftrurnents; though, lie def- 
pifed the practice of mufic, as a mere fenfual pleafure. 
Some fketciies of his ingenuity and induftry in this way 
may be keen in the Memoirs of the French Academy of 
Sciences. He died in 1711, at 48 years of age. His me- 
, moirs, printed in the volumes of the Royal Academy, are 
as follow : The Rectification of Curve Lines by Tangents, 
5701. Solution of a problem propofed to Geometricians, 
&c. 1701. Reflections on the Table of Equations, 1701.

CARRE'RA (Peter), a prieft of Sicily, very expert in 
the game of chefs, publiflied a curious Italian treatife on 
that fubjeft in 1617, 4to. He alfo wrote a hiftory of Ca-

Medina in 1647, aged 76.

Jljip. Behaviour; perfonal manners.—Let them have

Not vfed. — -The manner of carriage of the bufinefs, was

Every (peciesof vehicle is deemed a carriage. Truck- 
carriages ate all fuch whofe wheels confift of one folid 
piece of wood. Horfes in general draw a carriage to moft 
advantage, when the direction of their draft is parallel to 
CAR 
the ground, or rather a little upwards. A carriage alfo 
goes eafieft when the centre of gravity is placed very high ; 
lince then, when once put in motion, it continues it with 
very little labour to the hordes. For the conftruftion and

CAR'RICK, the fouthern divifion of the (hire of Ayr, 
in Scotland. It borders on Galloway ; ftretches 32 miles 
in length ; and is a hilly country. The chief rivers are the 
Stencher and Girven, both abounding with falmon : here 
are alfo feveral lakes and forefts ; and the people on the 
coaft employ themfelves in the herring fifliery. Tire only 
places of this diftrift are Bargeny and, Maybole, two in 
confiderable villages ; yet the firft gave the title of baron 
to a branch of the Hamilton family. The prince of 
Wales, as prince of Scotland, is earl of Carric-k.

an arm of the fea called Carrickfergus Bay, or Belfajl Lough. 
The aftizes for the county are held here, as likewife for 
the town, which is a county of itfelf. It was once the 
principal fea-port of the north of Ireland, and defended 
by a cattle,- with a garrifon ; but the port is now little 
frequented, and the garrifon removed. King William 
landed here in the year 1690. In the month of February, 
1760, the town was plundered by Thurot, a commander 
of a fmail French fleet; but, in his retreat, captain Elliot 
attacked him with fome Englilh veflels. Thurot was 
killed in the engagement, and four frigates taken. Car¬

CAR'RIER, proconful of Vendee, one of the moft 
aftive and moft cruel of the early French revolutionifts; 
but who fell, in turn, under the guillotine. He was a 
man of a vvbimfical fort of gaiety, which manifefted itfelf 
on a variety of occafions. When, upon the change of 
parties, he was put upon his trial, he confidered himfelf 
as a worthy man and a good patriot, who was about to be 
facrificed to what was then called the thermidorean reaftion. 
“ When the wind fliifts,” laid he to his advocate, “ the 
tiles may fall upon your head.” Being afked by the lat¬ 
ter, how he could have the heart to drown children only 
five or fix years old ? heanfwered thus : “ Their lathers, 
their mothers, their tutors, and teachers, were all roy- 
alifts: while deftroying the old wolves, how could I let 
the young wolves efcape ?” Nothing could be moie 
altoniih-
