The most important chapter (ix.) is that which gives a detailed
account of the ministers ejected in 1662; it was afterwards published as a
distinct volume. He afterwards published a moderate defence of
Nonconformity, in three tracts, in answer to some tracts of Benjamin,
afterwards Bishop, Hoadly. In 1713 he published a second edition (2 vols.)
of his _Abridgment of Baxter's History_, in which, among various additions,
there is a continuation of the history through the reigns of William and
Anne, down to the passing of the Occasional Bill. At the end is subjoined
the reformed liturgy, which was drawn up and presented to the bishops in
1661. In 1718 he wrote a vindication of his grandfather and several other
persons against certain reflections cast upon them by Laurence Echard in
his _History of England_. In 1719 he published _The Church and the
Dissenters Compar'd as to Persecution_, and in 1728 appeared his
_Continuation of the Account_ of the ejected ministers and teachers, a
volume which is really a series of emendations of the previously published
account. He died on the 3rd of June 1732, having been married twice and
leaving six of his thirteen children to survive him. Calamy was a kindly
man, frankly self-conscious, but very free from jealousy. He was an able
diplomatist and generally secured his ends. His great hero was Baxter, of
whom he wrote three distinct memoirs. His eldest son Edmund (the fourth)
was a Presbyterian minister in London and died 1755; another son (Edmund,
the fifth) was a barrister who died in 1816; and this one's son (Edmund,
the sixth) died in 1850, his younger brother Michael, the last of the
direct Calamy line, surviving till 1876.
CALARASHI (_C[)a]l[)a]rasi_), the capital of the Jalomitza department,
Rumania, situated on the left bank of the Borcea branch of the Danube, amid
wide fens, north of which extends the desolate Baragan Steppe. Pop. (1900)

timber and fish from a broad mere on the west or from the Danube. Small

Calarashi traverses the Steppe from south to north, and meets the main line
