The anecdotes fully display the gypsies' singular propensities, when excited by lawless passions, or private animosities. Although the authorities are not annexed to these anecdotes, they may be depended on as authentic, as those which are not original are selected and arranged from various periodical publications, and the rest from popular tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
