Alexander edition by David Price. Many thanks to Kensington Library, London, for allowing the use of their copy in cross-checking the transcription "A Historical Survey of the Customs, Habits, & Present State of the Gypsies" by John Hoyland is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book delves into the origins, societal conditions, and treatment of the Gypsy community, aiming to shed light on their often overlooked plight in British society. Hoyland’s work seeks to raise awareness of their distinctive customs and to propose measures for improving their conditions. The opening of the text introduces the author's observations regarding the dire circumstances faced by Gypsies, particularly in England, and expresses his discontent with their treatment. He notes the general failure of historical records to account for this marginalized group and recounts his discussions with various individuals, such as a legal scholar who aids his inquiries into the Gypsies' present state and their unique language. The author emphasizes the need for public awareness and suggests that understanding their history is crucial before attempting to address their situation effectively.
