William O'Carroll
Sometime secretary to the British envoy at Dresden, Philip Stanhope in the 1760s, and an Irish officer of the Marines.
On October 10, 1764, Boswell described O'Carroll in his journal as “an obliging sort of man, but very formal. He was just Mr. Carron at Utrecht in regimentals.”
Unless otherwise noted, the source for a dated quotation of Boswell's is generally the corresponding volume of the Yale Trade Editions of Boswell's journals.
