  Life Of William Carey - Shoemaker & Missionary by George Smith, C.I.E., LL.D. | Chapter I. Carey's College 1761-1785. ...
WILLIAM CAREY, the first of her own children of the Reformation whom England sent forth as a missionary to India, where he became the most extensive translator of the Bible and civiliser, was the son of a weaver, and was himself a village shoemaker till he was twenty-eight years of age.
Henry Carey, first cousin of Queen Elizabeth, was the common ancestor of two ennobled houses long since extinct--the Earls of Dover and the Earls of Monmouth.
Carey was considered, and an unanimous satisfaction with his ministerial abilities being expressed, a vote was passed to call him to the Ministry at a proper time.

 Henry Charles Carey Summary
Carey associated himself with the Republican party when it was established in the 1850s; the highly protectionist plank in the party platform of 1860 reflected his influence.
At the age of twenty-eight he succeeded his father, Mathew Carey (1760-1839) an influential: economist, political reformer, editor, and publisher; of Irish birth, but for many years a resident of Philadelphia as a member of the publishing firm of Carey and Lea, which was long the most conspicuous in America.
Carey's first large work on political economy was preceded and followed by many smaller volumes on wages, the credit system, interest, slavery, copyright, etc.; and in 1858-1859 he gathered the fruits of his lifelong labours into The Principles of Social Science, in three volumes.

Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon and marriage to Anne was part of the complex beginning of the considerable political and religious upheaval which was the English Reformation, with Anne herself actively promoting the cause of Church Reform.
Henry and Anne's child was born slightly prematurely on 7 September 1533 at the King's favourite palace of Greenwich.
Henry soothed Anne's fears by separating Mary from her many servants and sending her under guard to Hatfield House, where Princess Elizabeth was also given her own magnificent staff of servants.

This thesis approaches Carey's life and work through his career as a musician, and examines the influence of music on all that he achieved; manifest in his various roles as composer, dramatist, opera librettist, performer, poet, satirist and translator.
Carey produced a variety of successful stage works that contain original and often quite sophisticated music, ranging from ballad opera to masque, and burlesque to pantomime.
Carey's role in the "English Opera Company" of 1752-55 is assessed, and a detailed comparison made between the different versions of his librettos Amelia and Teraminta in chapter 5.

 July 22nd
The brave, headstrong, irascible Hotspur; the rousing of Prince Henry to noble deeds from the wild roystering companion-ship of Falstaff and his friends; the imaginative, superstitious Glendower—all stand as lifelike characters before the eye of hundreds of Englishmen, who would never have heard their names had it not been for the bard of Avon.
Henry IV's skilful generalship probably saved his crown; for hastening his army with all speed from Burton-upon-Trent, he contrived to get between the two rebel forces, and prevent their junction.
The body of Hotspur, found among the dead, was by Henry's command taken from the grave, where Lord Furnival had laid it, and placed between two millstones in the market-place of Shrewsbury, quartered, and hung upon the gates, after the barbarous fashion of the times.

 Charles Wisner Barrell - Lord Oxford As Supervising Patron of Shakespeare's Theatrical Company
But Henry Carey was Lord Chamberlain of the Royal Household from June 1583, until his death in the summer of 1596, while his eldest son George filled the same office from April 1597, until December 1602, when his duties were taken over by Lord Thomas Howard, later Earl of Suffolk.
Meanwhile, Henry Carey was buried in Westminster Abbey at the Queen's expense in the summer of 1596, having been incapacitated for many months prior to his death.
Writers such as Sir Sidney Lee are able to have a whole series of important assumptions accepted primarily because so much of the basic contemporary documentation upon which an alternate opinion might be founded is either missing—or has been studiously ignored.

 Henry Carey (writer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Carey was born in London and The Gentleman's Magazine said in 1795 that he was the illegitimate son of George Savile, 1st Marquess of Halifax.
Carey was an admirer and subscriber to the operas of Handel, but he, like John Gay and Alexander Pope, thought that the operatic stars were absurd.
Although Carey complained that his enemies were calling him "Ballad-maker," the work was praised later by Charles Burney, and in the 19th century opinion of Carey's clear, simple, and memorable ballad tunes went even higher.

Carey once said to his nephew, whose design he seems to have suspected, “Eustace, if after my removal any one should think it worth his while to write my Life, I will give you a criterion by which you may judge of its correctness.
Carey had ceased to keep school when the Moulton Baptists, who could subscribe no more than twopence a month each for their own poor, formally called the preacher to become their ordained pastor, and Ryland, Sutcliff, and Fuller were asked to ordain him on the 10th August 1786.
William Carey, indeed, reaped the little that the few brave toilers of the wintry time had sown; with a humility that is pathetic he acknowledges their toll, while ever ignorant to the last of his own merit.

 Henry Carey Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
During his lifetime he was said to be an illegitimate son of George Savile, the first marquis of Halifax (1633-1695), the Whig politician who was largely responsible for putting William III and Mary on the throne.
Frederick T. Wood, who edited Carey's poems in 1930, suggested that Carey was more likely the son of the marquis's fourth child, George (born 1667), who died in either 1688 or 1689.
During his lifetime Carey neither confirmed nor denied any of these rumors, although he did include Savile in the names of two sons, and his widow named their fifth or sixth child, born after Carey's death, George Savile Carey, pointing in no uncertain manner to a family connection with the fi.....

Henry Carey (1793-1879), a colonial American economist and advisor to President Lincoln wrote, "In England a large portion of the people can neither read nor write, and there is scarcely an effort to give them education.
Henry Carey comparing the systems of colonial America with those of imperialistic England writes, "One looks to underworking the Hindoo and sinking the rest of the world to his level; the other to raising the standard of man throughout the world to our level.
Henry Carey’s influence on America is long gone and we now find ourselves well into the situation England experienced a century and a half ago.

Most of his hymns are lost, (the Benedictine writers credit him with twelve), but, judging by their effect on the powerful mind of Augustine, their influence among the common people must have been profound, and far more lasting than the author's life.
So far as scholarship was an advantage, the young writer must have been well equipped already, for as early as the entering of his fifth year he was learning Latin, and at nine learning Greek; at eleven, French; and at thirteen, Hebrew.
Henry John Gauntlett, an English lawyer and composer, wrote a tune for it in 1872, noble in its uniform step and time, but scarcely uttering the hymnist's characteristic ardor.

 Henry Carey, Letters on International Copyright
That should have the writer's vote, but he objects, and will continue to object, to any legislative action that shall tend towards giving to already "great and wealthy" publishing houses the nine millions that they certainly will charge for collecting the single one that is to go abroad.
Inchbald, so well known as author of the "Simple Story" and other novels, as well as in her capacity of editor, dragged on, as we are told, to the age of sixty, a miserable existence, living always in mean lodgings, and suffering frequently from want of the common comforts of life.
It should not be a consequence of poverty in the nation, for British writers assure us that wealth so much abounds that wars are needed to prevent its too rapid growth, and that foreign loans are indispensable for enabling the people of Britain to find an outlet for all their vast accumulations.

 CHAPTER I.  Carey's College
If thus there was Norse blood in William Carey it came out in his persistent missionary daring, and it is pleasant even to speculate on the possibility of such an origin in one who was all his Indian life indebted to Denmark for the protection which made his career possible.
Henry Carey, first cousin of Queen Elizabeth, was the common ancestor of two ennobled houses long since extinct—the Earls of Dover and the Earls of Monmouth.
The providence which made and kept young Carey so long a shoemaker, put him in the very position in which he could most fruitfully receive and nurse the sacred fire that made him the first English missionary and the most learned scholar and Bible translator of his day in the East.

Around 1564-7 a company of players, known as Hunsdon's Men, was under the patronage of Henry Carey, 1st Lord Hunsdon.
After Carey was made Lord Chamberlain in 1585, another company was created from the original Hunsdon's Men and members from several other theatre companies, including the Lord Strange's Men; this new company, Lord Chamberlain's Men, began performing around 1590.
After Henry Carey's death in 1596, his son, George Carey, 2nd Lord Hunsdon, became patron to the company, which again came to be known as Lord Hunsdon's Men.

 Namby Pamby - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, its origins are in Namby Pamby (1725), by Henry Carey.
Carey wrote the poem as a satire of Ambrose Philips and published it in his Poems on Several Occasions.
Carey adopts Philips's choppy line form for his parody and latches onto the dedication to nurseries to create an apparent nursery rhyme that is, in fact, a grand bit of nonsense and satire mixed.

In 1836 the Rev. Eustace Carey anticipated him by issuing what is little better than a selection of mutilated letters and journals made at the request of the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society.

The modern writer gives you not so much the things themselves as his impression of them." Here then is the familiar critical distinction between the objective and subjective methods--Schiller's _naiv and sentimentalisch_--applied as a criterion of classic and romantic style.
But there is this difference, that, while the renaissance writers fell short of their pattern, the modern schools of romance have outgone their masters--not perhaps in the intellectual--but certainly in the artistic value of their product.
Three writers of high authority in three successive generations--Dryden, Addison, and Johnson--consolidated a body of literary opinion which may be described, in the main, as classical, and as consenting, though with minor variations.
