Summary

Philadelphia publisher, economist and humanitarian. Born in Dublin, Ireland, Carey came to the United States in 1784 and spent most of his professional career in Philadelphia. His publishing ventures prospered and his firm was a leader in American printing and publishing from 1795 to 1835. He volunteered, along with his friend Stephen Girard, to serve on the committee of health during the Philadelphia yellow fever epidemic of 1793. He became an ardent champion of oppressed minorities in Europe, especially after his retirement from business in 1821.
