About This Book

The author surveys the history, appellations, language, customs, occupations, and legal treatment of itinerant communities across Europe and Britain, collecting historical authorities and contemporary inquiries to trace possible origins and linguistic links. He compares continental and British practices, assesses political regulations and social conditions, documents present circumstances in England and Scotland, examines the debate over provenance, and concludes with reflections and concrete proposals aimed at improving their welfare and reintegrating them through informed measures.
