CARY, ROBERT, LL.D., a learned English chronologer, was born in Devonshire about the year 1615. On the restoration of Charles II., he was preferred to the archdeaconry of Exeter; but was ejected soon after, and spent the remainder of his days at his rectory of Portemouth, where he died in 1688. He published Palæologia Chronica, a chronology of ancient times, in three parts, didactical, apodeictical, and canonical; and translated the church hymns into Latin verse.
