Robert Goadby

Robert Goadby (1721–1778) was an English printer and publisher in Sherborne, Dorset. He was a Whig supporter, and influential through his newspaper, the ''Sherborne Mercury''. He also made available the standard version of the supposed autobiography of the rogue Bampfylde Moore Carew. Goadby, his wife and others have been given credit for this popular work that gave Carew the status of folk hero. Provided by Wikipedia
