Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Calendar of the Carew Manuscripts: Preserved in the Archiepiscopal Library at Lambeth, 1575-1588 I propose in this Volume to redeem the promise I made in my last of entering into a more specific examination of the Carew Papers relating to the early periods of the Tudor dynasty. I was prevented by the limits of the space prescribed to me from placing this subject before my readers in as full detail as I could have wished. Some account of Sir George Carew, to whom we are indebted for the preservation of these valuable documents, so important for the elucidation of Irish history, appeared to challenge priority to all other considerations. Hitherto the life of Sir George has been involved in great obscurity; and in consequence of three George Careys or Carews, - the name is spelt indifferently, - living at the same date, the accounts of all three have been frequently confused in biographical dictionaries. It was necessary, therefore, to examine carefully Carew´s own manuscripts, and gather from them whatever materials could be found for elucidating his career. I may add, that the important part played by Sir George Carew, both as President of Munster, and as the main and most confidential adviser in all matters connected with Ireland, during the reigns of Elizabeth and James I., seemed to justify this course.
