The English Gipsies and Their Language Charles Godfrey Leland The Rommany of the Roads.-The Secret of Vagabond Life in England.-Its peculiar and thoroughly hidden Nature.-Gipsy Character and the Causes which formed it.-Moral Results of hungry Marauding.-Gipsy ideas of Religion. The Scripture story of the Seven Whistlers.-The Baker's Daughter.-Difficulties of acquiring Rommany.-The Fable of the Cat.-The Chinese, the American Indian, and the Wandering Gipsy. Although the valuable and curious works of Mr George Borrow have been in part for more than twenty years before the British public, it may still be doubted whether many, even of our scholars, are aware of the remarkable, social, and philological facts which are connected with an immense proportion of our out-of-door population. There are, indeed, very few people who know, that every time we look from the window into a crowded street, the chances are greatly in favour of the assertion, that we shall see at least one man who bears in his memory some hundreds of Sanscrit roots, and that man English born; though it was probably in the open air, and English bred, albeit his breeding was of the roads. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
