"The book itself is a record of some gleanings along a literary Gypsy by-path. There is a Polish proverb which says 'He who fraternises with a Gypsy becomes himself a Gypsy' and so far as treatment of the subject is concerned, the author has grown Gypsy-like. This is a reprint of the second edition of 1907 issued only a year after the first and includes George Meredith's analysis of the character of the Tinklers together with a scholarly introduction by John Sampson, the most prominent Gypsiologist of the time. The work is fully illustrated with photographs and prints." --Dust jacket.

Excerpt from The Tinkler-Gypsies Already in Simson's day we find that the Scottish dialect of Romani had lost all its air Of being a modern Indian dialect like Hindustani or Sindhi, and had taken its colour from the soil. Altogether about half Of Simson's words are debased Gypsy: the remainder is derived from some different source, and it is from the study ofthese words we must seek to identify the class Of people with whom the Scottish Tinklers interbred. The historical student Of secret or cant languages will have no difficulty in recognising at once the predominant factor in the non-gypsy element. It is none other than the ancient cant of the Elizabethan rogue or vagabond, not changed materially since it was first published to the world by Thomas Harman in his Caveat for Common Curse/07's, and familiar to us from the conversations and songs introduced into the plays Of Fletcher, Greene, Dekker, and Other early dramatists. This cant is largely a descriptive one, full of such simple coinages as glimmer for fire, lzg/ztmans for day, ' and darle'nans for night, with here and there a Latin importation like grannam, corn, showing that even before the days Of Glanvil's Scholar Gypsy the vagrants' bands must now and then have been recruited by a broken scholar. Among the words recorded by Harman three hundred years ago which still, though occasionally with some slight change of meaning or pronunciation, form part of the Tinkler tongue are bene and bens/zz'p, good bora', a shilling (simson, p. 305, a clzete, a thing dell, a young wench (simson, pp. 296, 394 dill, a servant maid fumbles, hands grannam, corn ru/zian, the devil (simson, p. 305, rufie) strommell, straw while Mr m'cormick supplies additions to those noted by Simson in his wun, wing, penny, and wapsi, meretrix - a word formed from l-larman's verb wap, perhaps preserved in the name of the Old sailors' quarter in London, Wapping.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Lavengro the Scholar, the Gypsy, the Priest, Vol. 2 of 3 "One-and-ninepence, sir, or the things which you have brought with you will be taken away from you!" Such were the first words which greeted my ears, one damp misty morning in March, as I dismounted from the top of a coach in the yard of a London inn.

Excerpt from American Gypsies As a rule Gypsies are unwilling to teach a stranger their language. It' was therefore only by liberal presents of cigars and tobacco to the men and bright silk handkerchiefs to the women and girls that I induced this band to teach me. Again, Gypsies seldom can read or write, and it is not easy to learn a language accurately from ignorant people. For instance, I asked how they said in Gypsy Will you have a cigar? They said Will tuti lella tav. Later, however, I discovered this phrase meant Will you have a smoke, not Will you have a cigar. Ignorant people also soon tire when teaching you, and mislead by their answers, saying yes often when they should say no, simply because that happens to make it easier for them. Frequently their replies are very amusing, and it is difficult to get an answer to your question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
