Produktbeschreibung
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.
