Bellamy

Bellamy, JACOBUS, a Dutch poet, born at Flushing in 1757. The son of a Swiss baker, he was indebted for his education to a clergyman and others, who subscribed to send him to the university of Utrecht. He died 10th March 1786, having published three volumes of poetry between 1782 and 1785. Collected editions of his works have appeared at Haarlem in 1826 and 1852, but they omit the finest of all his poems, Roosje, a romance remarkable for its pathos.
