By James Simson

Book Overview

The Scottish Churches and the Gypsies is a historical book written by James Simson and first published in 1881. The book explores the relationship between the Scottish churches and the gypsy community in Scotland during the 18th and 19th centuries. It discusses the efforts made by the churches to evangelize and assimilate the gypsies into mainstream Scottish society, as well as the challenges and obstacles faced by both parties in this process. The author draws on a range of historical sources, including church records, government reports, and personal accounts, to provide a detailed and nuanced account of this complex relationship. The book sheds light on the cultural and religious dynamics at play in Scotland during this period and offers insights into the history of both the Scottish churches and the gypsy community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
