A scarce, provincially-printed reprint of the picaresque and improbable memoirs of rogue and vagrant, Bampfylde Moore Carew (1690-1758), which was first published in 1745. Various namers have been put forward for its author with varying degrees of certainty, with none credited, although many anonymous editors adapted it to pamphlet and chapbook form over the second half of the 18th century. This particular edition, which here survives in in its original wrappers, is recorded by Library Hub at the BL only, with Worldcat adding 6 further institutions.
