Book excerpt: Bampfylde More Carew was the son of a clergyman in the West of England, who ran away from school to become a vagabond. He had a long career as dog thief, confidence trickster, fortune teller and beggar, and was imprisoned and transported to America twice, escaping and returning to England each time. By his own account he was elected to be the "king" of the beggars in England in recognition of his skill. He would pose as as a shipwrecked sailor, a deranged University scholar, an impoverished clergyman . . . whatever was most likely to prompt a show of alms. In each case he had the appropriate clothing and appearance, and a carefully prepared story which would stand up to the most searching enquiry. His victims included wealthy merchants and noblemen, as well as many other less eminent but still well-to-do persons, as he scorned to swindle the poor. When he grew too old for the road, he retired to Bickleigh, a village near Exeter in Devonshire, and lived respectably for the last few years of his life. His Adventures were first published in 1745 and were probably based on his reminiscences as dictated to the anonymous editor. They are lively and entertaining, but how much is true cannot now be known. Indeed, it poses an interesting logical puzzle: When a man boasts of how good a liar he is, how far should he be believed?

Book excerpt: The Surprising Adventures of Bampfylde Moore Carew includes the following chapters: King of the Beggars; containing his Life, a Dictionary of the Cant Language, and many Entertaining Particulars of that Extraordinary Man. Bampfylde Moore Carew (1693-1759) was an English rogue, vagabond and impostor, who claimed to be King of the Beggars. The Life and Adventures of Bampfylde Moore Carew was first published in 1745. Although it states that the contents were "noted by himself during his passage to America" and it is likely facts were supplied by Carew, the author was probably Robert Goadby, a printer in Sherborne, Dorset, who published an early edition in 1749. It has been suggested that Carew dictated his memoirs to Mrs. Goadby. The Life and Adventures continued to be a best seller throughout the next hundred years in numerous editions as books and chapbooks. He became a nationally known character, appealing to a provincial audience. One edition of his life was printed in Hull in 1785. How much of the Life is true is impossible now to know. Carew certainly travelled and is likely to have indulged in minor crimes but many stories seem too fantastic or literary to be true. It appealed to the market for mild 'rogue' literature and many editions included a canting dictionary. The public found The Life appealing: an educated man from a good family who spent his life ingeniously and audaciously outwitting the establishment, including people who should have recognised him and without ever doing anything really bad. Carew seemingly settled in Bickleigh towards the end of his life. This may have been because of an offer of support from his relative, Sir Thomas Carew of Bickerton, winning a lottery, or because of age and weariness. Some editions of The Life and Adventures suggest Carew reflected with sadness on how 'idly' he had spent his life, perhaps making a racy story acceptable by adding a moral ending. Carew died at Bickleigh in 1759, leaving a daughter.
