Origin Of the Gypsies.

When the gypsies first appeared in
England in the fifteenth century the
name gypsy was given to them by the
English people. who believed them to
have come from Egypt. The French.
by a similar mistake. called them Bo-
hemians. But a careful study Of this
race. and especially Of their language.
shows that they came originally from
India. The gypsy language is derived
from the Sanskrit, as are the other Ar
gan languages of India. A similar error
was made by the English when they
called a distinctively American bird q

was an importation from the Ottoman
empire. and by the French when they
