Separate title-pages for volumes 2 & 3, but the pagination is continous. The first American edition of the only novel by Thomas Bellamy, the picaresque tale of a young boy, Alfred, who is abandoned by his mother and lives through numerous "calamitous vicissitudes," but in the end is saved by a generous family. The Beggar Boy was left unfinished at Bellamy's death, and his friend the novelist Elizabeth Sarah Villa-Real Gooch completed the work, as noted by her in the preface.
