of setting out for England, in 1605. On arriving
in London, Luisa assembled a little community
similar to the former one at Pampelima. She spent
hrr time in visiting those i 1 1 prison, and going
to the houses of others in danger of apprehension.
She had the happiness of ministering to Father
Roberts, O. S. B., and Thomas Somers, a secular
priest, immediately before their martyrdom. Her
life attracted t he attention of the authorities, who
said she was doing more to convert Protestants than
twenty priests. On two occasions pretexts were
found for putting her in prison; on each occasion
she was released at the instance of the Spanish
ambassador. Attempts were then made with the
latter to procure her removal from the kingdom.
These would probably in the end have succeeded.
had they not been prevented by her death which
occurred on her forty-sixth birthday.

Carve, Thomas, historian, b. in Co. Tipperary, Ireland, 1590; d. probably in 1072. His correct name ( arew, that of a family of great influence in Munster during the fifteenth and sixteenth cent- uries. From his own works it is clear that the Butlers of Ormonde were his patrons during his early years. It is not certain where he was educated, "but he was ordained priest, and passed some years in an Irish diocese. On the invitation of Walter Butler, then Colonel of an Irish regiment serving in Austria, he left Ireland and remained for some time as chaplain to Butler's regiment. He returned to Ire- land twice (1030, 1632), and on the death of Butler he acted as chaplain to Devereux, Butler's successor in the command of the Irish forces fighting under Ferdi- nand II. He accompanied the troops during several of the campaigns of the Thirty Years' War, and had thus a gooil opportunity of observing the events re- corded in his history of the war. In 1040 he was ap- pointed chaplain to the English, Scotch, and Irish forces in Austria, and continued to hold that position till 1013, when he went to reside at Vienna as a choral vicar of the Cathedra] of St. Stephen. His last book was published at Sulzbach in 1072. The principal works from his pen are: (1) "Itinerarium R. D. Thomte Carve Tipperariensis, Sacellani majoris in ford .una juxta tt nobihssimi Ugicne strcnuicsinn Colonelli D. W. Devereux". etc. (Mainz, 1030 41. pts. I-II;Speyer, 1648, HI: new ed., 1 vol., 1010-41). A new edition of the whole work was published at Lon- don, 185(1. It gives a good account of the Thirty Years' War. In connexion with the mysterious career of Wallenstein it is particularly valuable. (2) " Rerum Germaniearu I 7 ad annum lOUgestarum
Epitome" (1641). (3) "Lyra seu Anacephakeosis Hibernica. in qua de exordio, seu origine. nomine, moribus ritibusque tientis Hibernicse succinte tracta- tur, cui quoque accessere Annales ejusdem Hibernis necnon rerum gestarum per Europam 1148-1650" (Vienna. 1651; 2nd ed., Sulzbach, 1666). (4) "En- chiridion apologetieum Noribergai" (1670). (5)"Re- sponsio veridiea ad illotum libellum cui nomen Ana- tomicum examen IV Antonii Bruodini, etc" (Sulz- bach, B. 7J

Caryll, .h.iix, poet, dramatist, and diplomatist, b. at West Hart ing. England. 1625; d.1711; not to be confounded with his nephew, John Caryl], immortal- ized by a line in Pope's " Rape of the Lock ". He was head of an old English Catholic and royalist family at that time settled at West Harting, in Sussex. His
father, of whom he was heir, was likewise named John;
his mother was a daughter of William, second Baron
Petre. Of his education he received part, at the Eng-
lish college of Saint-Omer, in Artois, pari at the Eng-
lish College in Rome. During the reign of Charles II
he produced several plays and poems of morel ban aver-
age merit. In poetry his chief performances were a
translation of Ovid's Epistle of Briseis to Achilles,
first appearing in 16S0 in a work entitled "Ovid's
Epistles, translated by several hands", and after-
wards separately; also a translation of Vergil's first
Eclogue, printed in Nichol's "Select Collection of
Miscellany Poems" and published in Kis3. His plays,
both of them brought out at the Duke of York's
Theatre, were a tragedy written in 1666 and called
"The English Princess, or the death of Richard III"
(Samuel Pepys, who saw this piece acted 7 March,
1007, found it no more than "pretty good"), and a
comedy entitled "Sir Solomon Single, or the Cautious
Coxcomb", which came out in 1071, upon the pattern
of Moliere's " Ecole des Femmes". In 1679, during
the national madness brought on by Titus Oates's
pretended " Popish Plot", Caryll, as a I !al holic of dis-
tinction, was committed to the Tower of London,
whence he had the good luck soon to be let out on
bail. W'hen James II succeeded to the throne in
16S5, he sent Caryll as his agent to the court of Pope
Innocent XI, withdrawing him some months later
upon the Earl of Castlemaine's appointment to that
post. Caryll was then appointed secretary to Queen
Mary of Modena, in whose service he continued after
the Revolution of 1688, when he followed the exiled
royal family across the sea to Saint-Germain. From
his voluntary expatriation, however, there ensued no
confiscation of his property until lliitli, when, by
reason of his implication in one of the plots to over-
throw William III, he having furnished money for
that purpose, his estate at West Harting was declared
forfeited and himself attainted. His life interest in
West Harting was thereon granted to Lord Cutts, but
redeemed by Caryll's nephew aforesaid for £6,000.
The dethroned King James II died in 1701, being suc-
ceeded in his rights and claims by his son, the so-called
Pretender, who as King James III conferred upon
Caryll the empty title of Baron Caryll of Dunford and
the otlice of one of his secretaries of state. Mean-
while, in 1700, Caryll had published anonymously an-
other work, this time in prose, entitled "The I'sahnes
of David, translated from the Vulgat". He died 4
September, 1711, and was buried at Paris in the
church of the Scotch college, of which he had been
a benefactor and where there was set up a tablet to
his memory. He left no issue. His wile was Mar-
garet, a daughter and co-heir of Sir Maurice Drum-
mond. One of his sisters, Mary, became first abbess
of the English Benedictine nuns at Dunkirk. The
last of the Caryll family, a grandson of the above
mentioned nephew, died in poverty at Dunkirk in
1788.

Carystus, a titular see of Greece. According to legend it was named after Carystus, a son of Chiron. The ancient city is often mentioned by geographers, chiefly on account of its beautiful marble and its amianth obtained from Mount Oche. The see was at first a suffragan of Corinth, but early in the ninth century was made a suffragan of Athens and before 1579 of Euripos (Chalcis). Only two Greek bishops are mentioned by Lequien (II, 197): Cyriacus, who subscribed the letter of the bishops of Hellas to the Emperor Leo in 458, and Joel at the beginning of the eighteenth century At least another titular may be mentioned, Demetrius, a friend of Michael Aco- minatos, the famous Metropolitan of Athens in the
