GOADBY, Robert

 

An apology for the life of Mr. Bampfylde-Moore Carew commonly call’d the King of the beggars; being an impartial account of his life, from his leaving Tiverton school, at the age of fifteen, and entering into a society of gypsies, to the present time … with his travels twice through great part of America. A particular account of the original government, languages, laws and customs of the gypsies … And a parallel drawn after the manner of Plutarch, between Mr. Bampfylde-Moore Carew and Mr. Thomas Jones.

 

London, Printed for R. Goadby and W. Owen, [1760].
