Excerpt from Dissertation on the Gipsies: Being an Historical Enquiry, Concerning the Manner of Life, Family ?conomy, Customs and Conditions of These People in Europe, and Their Origin
As my chief aim in translating the following Thesis, was to give such of my Countrymen, who are unacquainted with the German language, an upfront unity of learning from what part of the H'orld, it is probable the Gypsies came among us; I have been solicitous to render the excel meaning of the Author, without endeavoring to compose an elegant Treatise, which would, in many inflames, have obliged me to deviate too far from the Original
The Book having been printed off, before I knew it was intended to publish a Second Edition, it was impossible for me to incorporate the Additions into the body of the Work; therefore to avoid swelling it too much, the Reader will find only an Abstract of the most material Passages, in detached Paragraphs, and a compleat life of the Authors quoted by the German Writer.
