Hebrew scholar. He was ordained in 1813, and went to Dublin, where he became
assistant minister of the Scots Church, St. Mary's Abbey, the senior minister
being Dr. Macdonald. There he became identified with the two great subjects
which interested hid throughout his life, education and the Protestant cause,
and was recognised as the head of the Protestant Dissenters in the Irish
capital. He was twice Moderator of the Supreme Court of the Irish Presbyterian
Church. He was appointed one of the Commissioners of Poor Law Inquiry
(Ireland), and drew up a plan of relief which met with the approbation of his
fellow Commissioners. but which was not adopted by the Government. There was
an agitation in Parliament for a change in the mode of application of the
grant of money for the education of the poor in Ireland, and £30,000 was voted
on 9 September, 1839. Subject to new conditions.' The money was placed at the
disposal of the Lord Lieutenant (Lord Anglesey), and a Commission was
appointed, 26 November 1831, to superintend its appropriation. There were
seven Commissioners the Duke of Leinster, the new Anglican Archbishop Dublin (Whately),
the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Dublin (Murray) the Provost of Trinity
College, Dublin, Messrs. Blake and Holmes and the Presbyterian Minister. James
Carlile. Much of his time during the next eight years was spent in the
preparation of the necessary textbooks for the National Schools, a list of
which books will be found in a work entitled An Analysis of the School Books
published by Authority of the Commissioners of National Education in Ireland
(London. Groombridge, 1853)‑ Of these books it was, said in the House of Lords
on, 7 March, 1853. that they " Were admitted upon all hands to be
incomparable. They were works which enjoyed a European reputation." All the
reading books contained lessons on the subject of religion. drawn chiefly from
the narratives of Holy Scripture. There were also books exclusively of "
Scripture lessons." In 1839 he ceased to, be a Resident Commissioner of the
Irish Education board, left his church in the hands of his assistant. Dr.
Kirkpatrick and (1840) went to Parsonstown, King's Co., to found a Protestant
mission among the Roman Catholics. The results, of his work there are stated
in his pamphlet. Fruit gathered amoung Roman Catholics in Ireland,
published in 1848 (Nisbet). The average attendance at morning service at his
mission chapel was 80, that at the Sunday School 50, 15 converts had died, and
5 other converts not members of the Church. but under the supervision of the
Scripture readers, had been made. Having regard to all the circumstances, he
seems to have considered these results to be as good as he could expect. He
died in Dublin on 31 March, 1854, in the seventieth year of his age. The
funeral service was conducted by Dr. Kirkpatrick in the Scots Church. St.
Mary's Abbey, Dublin. and the burial was at Parsonstown. He was twice married.
The first wife was Mary. daughter of Thomas Beilby, merchant, of Birmingham.
She died without issue. The second wife was Jane, daughter of Bolton and Jane
Wren, of Kendal. She was born in December, 1799, and was brought up in Dublin
by her cousin. Mrs. Houghton, at whose house she met her future husband. She
has been described as naturally diffident and silent, shy and retiring. They
were married in 1821. She was much interested in education, and opened a
school in Dublin for children destined to be school teachers or governesses.
She died at Parsonstown in 1852, and was buried there. The breakdown in her
health was attributed to overwork and to exposure in attempts to relieve the
starving peasantry during the potato famine. There were three children of the
marriage, of whom two are dead (see Carlile, Mary of Dublin, James Wren, and
William Warrand). The last work of her husband. was the writing of her memoir
This was published after his death an Appendix to his The Station dead
Occupation of the Saints in their Final Glory (Nisbet) to which book is
prefixed 'a memoir of. James Carlile, of Dublin, by the Rev. J. E. Carlyle. In
addition to the text books for schools referred to above, he published many
works on religious subjects.
NOTE.‑The work of Dr. James Carlile in connexion with Irish National
Education can he better understood if the Reports of the Royal Commissions of
1812, 1824 and 1825, and the Reports of the Committees of the House of Commons
on that subject in 1828 and 1830 be consulted. Previously to 1831 there had
been in Ireland. (1) denominational schools, which did not receive a
Government grant, and (2) the Kildare Street. Association's schools (neutral),
which did receive a grant. There were 1,620 of these latter schools (with
133,896 pupils). receiving a grant of 25,000,pounds per annum. The
Association required the Bible to be read in their schools without note or
comment. The Roman Catholics objected to this, (i.) because catechetical
instruction was excluded, (2) because children were allowed to for their own
opinions upon the Sacred Text, and (3) because it was proved that to some
extent the Kildare Street Association was not neutral, as it purported to be,
but was closely allied with Protestant proselytising institutions. The grant
to this Association was discontinued on the formation in 1831 of the new
Board. The Board appointed all teachers, and had the general direction of ail
Government schools in Ireland Under the Board no Bible reading was
compulsory, contrary to any parent's wish. but ministers of all. denominations
were to have 'free access to the schools to give religious instruction to
their own members, out, of school hours.

who has been described as the greatest preacher the world has seen since
Apostolic times. he married Irving’s sister. Agnes Knobly Irving, in 1820.
Information as to Edward Irving is given in his Lift, by 'Mrs. Oliphant,
fourth edition. 1865; and his collected writings were edited by his nephew.
Gavin Carlyle (1864). There is also an account of the Irving’s by J. D.
Irving, 1907 (Aberdeen: The Rosemount Press).' Agnes Knobly Irving, whom
Warrand Carlile married, was of a beautiful countenance, with dark eyes, dark
hair, and a fair complexion‑a female likeness of her celebrated brother. Her
father was engaged in the tanning industry in Annan, and her mother was a
Lowther, a woman of striking appearance and much ability. Mrs. Carlile, who
was born on 12 December. 1801 was never strong, and she died in 1829 in her

Carlyle, and Mary, married to a Mr. Dickson in Jamaica (see Carlyle, James
Edward, and Gavin, and Dickson, Mary). Shortly after his wife’s death, Warrand
Carlile resolved to give up business and prepare for the ministry. After
studying at Glasgow University for six years, in addition to his two years
there in earlier life, he was licensed as a preacher in the Church of
Scotland, and was ordained afterwards in Carlow, Ireland, where he not only
ministered to the Presbyterians, but carried on a mission among the Roman
Catholics. He married there his second wife, Elizabeth Teape, who had two sons
(see Carlile, Warrand, the second, and William Alexander) and two daughters
(see Dunlop, Margaret, and Dunlop, Charlotte Maria). Warrand Carlile, the
first. felt that in Carlow he was not succeeding in the mission work, doing
less, for Christ than in his previous work at; a layman in Paisley. and he
most earnestly prayed for Divine guidance. He had not the slightest idea of
Jamaica, when in a vision by night, Christ appeared to him, as he believed,
and pointed him to Jamaica as his ‑future sphere of labour. He believed the
vision to be ‑a reality, and the next morning, wrote to the Scottish
Missionary Society, offering his services for Jamaica. After a little delay
they were cordially accepted, and he was the last missionary appointed by that
Society. He was sent to Brownsville, a beautiful mountain station in the
north‑west of the island, and there he laboured in the midst of a large negro
population, and with much success, and greatly beloved by the people for
thirty‑eight years, until his death in the autumn of 1881, in his eighty‑fifth
year. A more detailed account of his life in Jamaica will be found in Gavin
Carlyle's book, Thirty Years of Mission Life (London: Nisbet, 1884). Warrand
Carlile was a friend in youth A Thomas Carlyle., of Chelsea, as appears from a
letter of 12 June. 1867, written by Thomas Carlyle to Edward Carlile, of
Richmond, in which the historian describes Warrand as "an estimable friend of
my youth. whom 1 have not seen for forty‑five years, but have never ceased to
remember with respect and affection. I knew him always for a man of candour,
clear sense, and perfect veracity of word and of mind. Among the writings of
Warrand Carlile may be mentioned:

Universality, and Infallibility of the Church of Christ, contained in a Letter
