After due allowance for the faults of these people the existence of which I should be more than foolish to deny and writing off, as it were, so much for depreciated human nature, there remains a great deal about them that is straight- forward and lovable. There is, too, a peculiar attractiveness in this singing by the camp fire before the family re- tires to rest on this Sunday night. This absolutely faithful description of the close of a Sunday evening in a gypsy encamp- ment, of which my own ...tent formed a part, and the few observations thereon which I made at the time, afford material for a good deal of thought.
