he market gardens. In the months of
July and August they move into Sussex and Kent, and are engaged in the
harvest. And in the month of September, _great numbers_ of them are to
be found in the hop-districts of Kent, Sussex and Surry, where they find
employment. During the winter, many of them settle in London,
Westminster, Bristol, and other large towns, when a good opportunity is
presented for teaching, both to the children and adults of this class,
the elements of reading, and the principles of true religion. For the
information of those who may wish to visit the Gipsies in London and
Bristol, during the winter, the author thinks it his duty to name the
streets where they generally reside.

be said to profit them in a state of intoxication, and many of the women
are then employed either in swindling or fortune-telling.

Should the sympathies of the British public be efficiently directed to
the Gipsies of this country, it may call forth the zeal of other nations
to improve their still more degraded condition on the Continent, where
more than half a million of them wander, ignorant as the heathens of all
that is necessary to salvation. Those of this country loudly call upon
us for instruction, which may easily be given them. Let all who have
either time, money, or ability, give a helping hand; and, above all,
assist by their unfeigned and earnest prayers. It may be very advisable
to pray publicly for them in places of worship, and at the family altar,
after visiting them in the highways and hedges. It might impress those
of them who attend, with a grateful sense of the gracious care of God,
and lead Christian congregations to think more of them, and to do mor
