Omschrijving

""The History and Curious Adventures of Bampfylde-Moore Carew, King of the Mendicants"" is a biographical account written by Thomas Price in 1882. The book chronicles the life of Bampfylde-Moore Carew, a notorious English vagabond who lived during the 18th century. Carew was known for his ability to deceive and manipulate people, as well as his skill at begging and living off the generosity of others. Despite his unconventional lifestyle, Carew was respected by many and even dubbed the ""King of the Mendicants."" The book provides a detailed look at Carew's many adventures, including his travels across England and Europe, his run-ins with the law, his various disguises and tricks, and his eventual retirement from the beggar's life. The book also explores the social and cultural context of Carew's time, shedding light on the lives of the poor and marginalized in 18th-century England. Overall, ""The History and Curious Adventures of Bampfylde-Moore Carew, King of the Mendicants"" is a fascinating and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on a little-known aspect of English history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
