LONDON, Printed for W. Haves ac the tyfi in P. Gilbaurneat the Corner of Chancery-lane in Fleet- PREFACE. BEfore I prefent the Reader, with the following Diftiona- ry of the Beggers and Gypfies Cant y I think it not amifs to premife a few Words concerning the Beg- gers and Gyffies themfelves, by way of an Hiftorical Account, of the Antiquity of the one, and the Uni- verfality of the other. It makes not a little for the Ho- nour of the Beggers, that their Ori- ginal according to fomc Accounts, is no leis Ancient than that of Chrifti- A 2 anity mity it fdf 5 for in the Opinion of Charron, as the Slaves went off, the Beggen came in their Place. So much at leaft is granted, That the Jems who allow'd of Slaves, had no Beggers. What ftiall we fay, but that if it be true, that the Emanci- pating or Freeing of Staves was in- deed the making of Beggers $ it fol- lows that Chnftianity which is dai- ly employed in Redeeming Slaves from the Tier fa, Ranfom'd no lefe than all at once from Pogan Slavery at fitft, at no dearer a Rate, than the Rent-charge of maintaining the Beg- gers, as the Price and Purchaceof our Freedoms. As for the Antiquity of the Eng- lifb Beggersy it may be obferved, That the firlt Statute which makes Provi- fion ibr the Pari/h-Poor, is no older than Queen Elizabeth $ from which it may be fairly Collected > That they The Preface. they cntrcd with us upon the Vi jo- int ion of the Abbeys, as with them abroad, upon the Delivery of the Slaves. For the Gypfies, they and the Foul Vifeafe have alike the Fate to run through a Geography of flames, and to be made free of as many C oun- ft7tt,asalmoft there are Languages to call them Names in 5 for as the trench call the Pox T the Italian Difeafe, they again give it to the Spaniards, as thefe to the French j fo the French call the Gypfies Boemie, or Bohemians, belike, becaufe they made their firft Appea- rance in Bohemia of any Pan of Europe-, the Italians Name them Zingari or Saracens, the Spaniards llanos as we Egyptians 3 whether it be, that the Italians give them the Turks, as the Spaniards give them the Moors, as being both the next Neighbors to each 5 I take not up- on The Preface. on me to Determine, only it may be obferved, betwixt the Comple- ment of cither kind, the Odds is no greater than this, of giving a Nati- on a Clap, or of laying a brood of Baftards at it's Door. Though Holland has no Beggers, if the Dutch themfelves are not the greateft Beggers in the World 5 and Switzerland has no Thieves, if the Swifs who are altogether Soldiers, arc not the greateft of Thieves. Yet, I fay, neither the State s that are with- out Beggers, nor the Cantons that are without Thieves, are notwith- ftanding either the one or the other, without Gypfies. So as what they want of Beggers and Thieves in point of Antiquity, the Gypfies claim a- bove both, in point of Univerfality, But though Gypfies are found in all Chriftian Countries, yet are they not in all Countries alike 5 their Na- ture The Preface. cure and Genius being diverfe, in pro- portion to the Countries arnongft whom they Stroul 3 fo that the fame Queftion remains upon them, as is ftarted of the Winds, as Univerfal Travellers as the Gypjies, that it feems a Doubt, Whether they partake more of the Nature of the Countries whence they rife ? orofthofe through which they Pafs ? Nor is it alfo new to meet the Beggers and the Proverbs together, for the Fafhion is as old as Plautw> 9 who puts the Proverbs and the Jefts in the Mouth of his Slaves. And in the Charadkr of SanchoPancba, Cer- vantes has Trod in the fame Steps 5 in the Hiftory of Don Quixot, San- cbo being diftinguiflied no lefs by his Proverbs, than his Affe. And be- tween the Slaves and che Beggers, the Djfiference is no greater, than be- tween Fathers and their Heirs. If The Preface. If fome Terms and Fhrafes of better Quality and Fafhion, keep fo ill Company, as Tag-Rag and Long- Tail j you are to remember, that it is no lefs then Cuflomary, for Great Perfons a broad to hide* themfelves often in Difguifes among the Gypfas 5 and even the late L. of Rocbefter a- tnong us, when time was, among o- ther 1'rolicks, was not afhamed to keep the Gfpjie* Company.
