Demonology; Superstition; Witchcraft
There is an engraved portrait of Margaret Finch, from a drawing made
in 1739. Her picture adorned the sign of a house of public
entertainment in Norwood, called the Gipsey house, which was situated
in a small green, in a valley, surrounded by woods. On this green, a
few families of Gipsies used to pitch their tents, during the summer
season. In winter they either procure lodgings in London, or take up
their abode in barns, in some of the more distant counties. In a
cottage that adjoined the Gipsey house, lived an old woman,
granddaughter of Queen Margaret, who inherited her title. She was
niece of Queen Budget, who was buried (_see Lysons_, vol i. p. 107.)
at Dulwich, in 1768. Her rank seemed, however, to be merely titular;
nor do we find that the gipsies paid her any particular respect, or
that she differed in any other manner than that of being a
householder, from the rest of her tribe.—

Footnote 79:
Legend is also used by authors to signify the words or letters
engraven about the margins, &c. of coins. It is also applied to the
inscription of medals, of which it serves to explain the figures or
devices. In point of strictness the legend differs from the
inscription, the latter properly signifying words instead of figures
placed on the reverse of a medal.
