Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Social Emancipation of the Gipsies I Have said, at page 11, that owing to its "practical unfamiliarity with the idea of two distinct races living on the same soil," "the principle, or rather fact, here involved" in the Gipsy nationality, in a more or less mixed state as regards blood, and living exactly like other people, "is evidently very difficult of comprehension by the British mind." And that-in America" the extreme prejudice against the Gipsies, and the consequent singular incredulity towards anything good or sensible that may emanate from them as a race," are "somewhat obviated" by "the distance from the location of the people principally described." On a previous occasion I said that the original Gipsies "were a people differing nearly as much from the inhabitants of Scotland (and Europe generally) as the Indians did from the colonists settling in America." And I described the destiny of the two thus: - "In this they differ, that these Indians really die out, while the Gipsies are very prolific, and become invigorated by a mixture of the white blood; under the cover of which they gradually leave the tent and scatter themselves over and through society, enter into the various pursuits common to the ordinary natives, and become lost to the observation of the rest of the population." The people of the United States occupy, in this way, a very favourable position for forming a correct and dispassionate opinion on the subject of the Gipsies, who exist among them as they do in other countries.
