Oh! it is one of the claims which Lavengro has to respect, that it is the first, if not the only work, in which that nonsense is, to a certain extent, exposed.

Two or three of their remarks on passages of Lavengro, he will reproduce and laugh at.

Of course your Charlie o'er the water people are genteel exceedingly, and cannot abide anything low.

Gypsyism they think is particularly low, and the use of gypsy words in literature beneath its gentility; so they object to gypsy words being used in Lavengro where gypsies are introduced speaking--"What is Romany forsooth ?" say they.
Very good! And what is Scotch?
has not the public been nauseated with Scotch for the last thirty years?
"Ay, but Scotch is not"-- the writer believes he knows much better than the Scotch what Scotch is and what it is not; he has told them before what it is, a very sorry jargon.

He will now tell them what it is not--a sister or an immediate daughter of the Sanscrit, which Romany is.
