Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of Bampfylde Moore Carew: Commonly Called the King of the Beggars

The lever and his fair one being on board, they soon hoisted sail, and the very winds being willing to favour these two happy lovers, they had an exceeding quick passage to Dart mouth, where they landed. Our hero was now no longer able to conceal his being a member of the gipsies. After some previous introduction he therefore, communicated the fact to the young lady, who was not alittle surprised and troubled at it but the counsellor we have already spoken of, being near at hand, soon composed her mind, by suggesting to her the worthy family her lover was sprung from that the commu nity of the gipsies was more happy and less disreputable than she imagined, that the person of her lover was quite amiable, and that he had good nature and love enough to make her happy in any condition.

Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of Bampfylde Moore Carew: Commonly Called the King of the Beggars

Mr. Bampfylde Moore Carew, descended from the ancient family of the Carews, was a son of the Rev. Mr. Theodore Carew, of the parish of Brickley, near Tiverton, in the county of Devon; of which parish he was many years rector, very much esteemed while living, and at his death universally lamented. Mr. Carew was born in the month of July, 1693; and never was there known a more splendid appearance of gentlemen and ladies of the first rank and quality at any baptism in the west of England, than at his: the Hon. Hugh Bampfylde, Esq. (who afterwards died of an unfortunate fall from his horse) and the Hon. Major Moore, were his illustrious godfathers, both of whose names he bore. There was some contention between these parties, which of their names should have the order of precedency, doubtlessly presaging the honour that should redound to them from the future actions of our hero. The affair was determined by throwing up a piece of money, which was won by Mr. Bampfylde; who, upon this account presented a large piece of plate, whereon was engraved, in large letters, Bampfylde Moore Carew.

The Rev. Mr. Carew had several other children, both sons and daughters, all of whom he educated in a tender and pious manner. Mr. Carew was at the age of twelve sent to Tiverton school, where he contracted an intimate acquaintance with young gentlemen of the first rank in Somersetshire, Devonshire, Cornwall, and Dorsetshire.
