- "Conclusive evidence of his popularity is furnished by the great number of editions [with varying titles] in which Carew's adventures are described at varying length. But his story as told in The life and adventures of Bampfylde-Moore Carew, 1745, and An apology for the life of Bampfylde-Moore Carew <1749>, the two volumes in which it originally appeared, has never yet been reprinted." The present work is a reprint of these two volumes and contains reproductions of their title-pages.
- The authorship has been ascribed variously to Thomas Price, Robert Goadby, Mrs. Goadby and Carew himself.
