The author must not forget to mention here, that he has been apprised by the clergyman in Scotland, whose letter forms so interesting a part of the ninth chapter, that the account he mentioned to him, as gaining insertion in a statistical publication, has not been published, he believes, in consequence of the death of the gentleman who had interested himself for its insertion in the work referred to; but that he hopes it may meet the public eye in a short time. And now, having redeemed the pledge which he gave his friends about twelve months since; having furnished them with a history of the Gipsies, such a one as he hopes will be beneficial to the race, whose conduct, condition, and necessities it narrates; he will conclude by thanking those kind friends who have unintentionally contributed to the interest of these pages, and by asking the continuation of their favours, with a view to give increasing interest to an intended second edition. He would not forget publicly to solicit, likewise, the correspondence of ladies and gentlemen who may be in possession of facts or plans likely to interest the public towards the Gipsies. The author now commits these pages to the all-influential blessing of God, earnestly praying that these poor, hard-faring wanderers, whose character he has endeavoured to delineate, may be speedily rescued from their present forlorn condition, and, that they may eventually be conducted to the mansions of eternal bliss, where neither storm nor tempest shall any longer afflict them, but where they shall join with the ransomed of the Lord, in ascribing _blessing_, _and honour_, _and glory_, _and power_, _unto him that sitteth upon the throne_, _and unto the Lamb for ever and ever_. THE END. LIST OF AUTHORS WHO HAVE WRITTEN ON THE GIPSIES. H. M. G. GRELLMAN'S DISSERTATION ON THE GIPSIES. Translated by M. Rapier. HOYLAND'S SURVEY OF THE GIPSIES. TWISS'S TRAVELS IN SPAIN. SWINBURNE'S TRAVELS IN ITALY. DR C. D. CLARK'S TRAVELS IN RUSSIA. CAPT. DAVID RICHARDSON. Referred to in the seventh volume of _Asiatic Researches_. SIR THOMAS BROWN'S VULGAR ERRORS. While these are the leading authors, whose works are either composed in, or translated into English, it may impress us with the importance by which the Gipsies have been viewed, to know, that nearly 200 have written about them in other languages.
