Search - List of Books by Richard Carew
Richard Carew (17 July 1555, East Antony, Cornwall, England – 6 November 1620) was a Cornish translator and antiquary.
A county gentleman of Cornwall, he was educated at Christ Church, Oxford where he was a contemporary of Sir Philip Sidney and William Camden, and then at the Middle Temple. He made a translation of the first five cantos of Tasso's Jerusalem Delivered (1594), this was more correct than that of Edward Fairfax. He also translated Juan de la Huarte's Examen de Ingenios, basing his translation on Camilli's Italian version. (This book is the first systematic attempt to relate physiology with psychology, though based on the medicine of Galen.) Other works were The Survey of Cornwall (1602; 1603 N.S.), and an Epistle concerning the Excellencies of the English Tongue (1605). Later editions of the Survey appeared in 1723, 1769 and 1811, and Davies Gilbert published an index in his Cornwall, vol. 4, pp. 381—92.
He served as High Sheriff of Cornwall, and as MP for Saltash and later Mitchell. His son Richard Carew was created a Baronet in 1641 (see Carew Baronets).
