Seller's Description:
Very Good. 8vo. [Xii], 323; 135 Pgs. + Vocabulary. With a preface by Borrow that reads almost as an apolgia, disclaiming any attempt to get at gypsy "character" for the "Gypsies, who are certainly a very mysterious people...". Volume II contains "An Original Collection of Their Songs and Poetry" and with chapters on The Language of the Gitanos", Robber Language and a final Vocabulary of Their Language. A very clean, handsome copy--in a dark brown, blind-stamped cloth binding. Top of spine, (headcap) is repaired, and the very white paper has light, scattered foxing through-out. With a front catalog of Wiley and Putnam 'New Publications'.
