About This Item
Edinbugrh: Edinburgh University Press, 1935. Octavo. 120 pages. Illustrated with photographic images. The great gypsy collection of R.A. Scott Macfie is at Liverpool University. In 1907 John Sampson and fellow gypsiologist David MacRitchie persuaded Macfie to revive the Gypsy Lore Society which had been defunct for the previous 14 years. The letter books held in the GLS archive show the commitment and persuasive talent for friendship Macfie brought to the cause, and he remained until his death in 1935 the inspiration and driving force behind much of the valuable research work published in the Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society. A fine copy bound in orange stiff paper wraps lettered in black.
