The Gipsies' Advocate
The Gypsies' Advocate or, Observations on the Origin, Character, Manners, and Habits of The English Gypsies was originally published in 1831. James Crabb wrote about the gypsies who lived near his home is Southampton. Crabb says he has personal knowledge of "their vicious habits, their comparative virtues, and their unhappy modes of life." Crabb hoped that his book would help the English better understand the gypsies and be less hateful towards them. Topics include their origins, habits and manners, the formation and work of Southampton Committee, the sin of fortune telling, plans for reforming the gypsies, and interesting particulars about the gypsies.
