Project Gutenberg 2006-11-17 Public domain in the USA. 130 Crabb, James 1774 1851 The Gipsies' Advocate Or, Observations on the Origin, Character, Manners, and Habits of the English Gipsies Transcribed from the 1831 edition by David Price "The Gipsies' Advocate" by James Crabb is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The author aims to shed light on the origins, characteristics, and lifestyles of the English Gipsies while advocating for a more compassionate understanding of this marginalized group. Crabb engages with the reader's sympathies, calling for benevolence and reform towards the Gipsy community rather than judgement based on common prejudices. At the start of the book, the author introduces his motivations for writing and highlights both the historical misunderstandings and the societal challenges faced by the Gipsies. He emphasizes the importance of understanding their origins, appearing to trace their lineage through various hypotheses, including possible Hindoo connections. Crabb reflects on his own firsthand experiences visiting Gipsy camps, implying a desire to correct misconceptions about their culture and habits. The opening sets the tone for a work intending to inspire action towards the Gipsies’ moral and spiritual improvement. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
