Bellamy was born at Kingston-on-Thames, served an apprenticeship to a hosier in Newgate Street, London, and went into business on his own accountant
After 20 years he became a clerk in a bookseller"s in Paternoster Row, leaving after a disagreement. In 1787 Bellamy started the General Magazine and Impartial Review, which was published for some months. Another venture was Bellamy"s Picturesque Magazine and Literary Museum, which contained engraved portraits of living persons, with some account of their lives.
But it was a commercial failure.
Later he set up The Monthly Mirror, which was mainly concerned with the stage, and established a circulating library. On the death of his mother Bellamy came into property, and retired from business.
Seized with sudden illness he died, after four days" suffering, on 29 August 1800.
