th him, and the death of some of his
relations rendering his circumstances quite easy, he retired to the west
country, where he purchased a neat cottage, which he embellished in a
handsome style, and lived in a manner becoming a good old English
gentleman, respected by his neighbours, and beloved by the poor, to whom
his doors were ever open. Here he died, full of years and honours,
regretted by all.

Having left his daughter a handsome fortune, she was married to a
neighbouring gentleman of good family, by whom she had a numerous family
of promising children.

We shall now conclude our true history, by observing, that we consider
Mr. Carew to have as good a claim to fame and immortality as any of the
heroes of the present age. We acknowledge he had his faults, but every
body knows a perfect character is quite out of fashion, and that the
authors of the present age hold it as an absurdity to draw even a
fictitious hero without an abundance of faults.
