Excerpt from The Autobiography of a Cornish Smuggler: Captain Harry Carter, of Prussia Cove 1749 1809 The existence of the Autobiography which is published in the following pages came to my knowledge in the course of a chance conversation with a distant relative of the writers family. The original manuscript has been carefully preserved, and has been for many years in the possession of Mr. G. H. Carter, of Helston. He received it from his father, the G. Carter mentioned on page 1, who was a nephew of Harry Carter himself. The memoir of the writer, which will be found in the Wesley an Methodist Magazine for October 1831, was based upon information supplied by G. Carter partly from the manuscript and partly from his own knowledge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
