In America, Milman averages them at six thousand only; but this was 
certainly very far below the mark, even when his book was published, and 
they have since been increasing with immense rapidity. We should think 
that an estimate of one hundred thousand, for North and South America, 
would not be an exaggeration. 
This sketch suffices to show how the Judaic race has become scattered 
throughout the regions of the earth, many families being domiciliated, ever 
since the Christian era, in climates the most opposite ; and yet, in obedience 
to an organic law of animal life, they have preserved unchanged the same 
features which the Almighty stamped on the first Hebrew pair created. 
Tre Gypsizs. 
Accounts of the Gypsies offer such curious analogies with those of the 
Israelites, that it may not be out of place to add a word respecting them. 
“Both have had an Exodus; both are exiles, and dispersed among the 
Gentiles, by whom they are hated and despised, and whom they hate and 
despise, under the names of Busnees and Goyim; both, though speaking the 
language of the Gentiles, possess a peculiar tongue, which the latter do not 
understand ; and both possess a peculiar cast of countenance, by which 
they may be, without difficulty, distinguished from all other nations; but 
with these points the similarity terminates. The Israclites have a peculiar 
religion, to which they are fanatically attached; the Romas (Gypsies) have 
none. The Israclites have an authentic history; the Gypsies have no his- 
tory ; they do not even know the name of their original country.” 
This isolated race is involved in mystery, owing to absence of tradi- 
tions ; though, from their physical type, language, &c., it is conjectured that 
the Gypsies came from some part of India, but at what time, and why, can- 
not now be determined. It has been said that they fled from the extermi- 
nating sword of the great Tartar conqueror, Timtr Leng (Tamerlane), who 
ravaged India in 1408-9 A. D.; but there will be found, in Borrow’s work, 
very good reason for believing that they might have migrated, at a much 
earlier period, north, amongst the Sclavonians, before they entered Germany 
and other countries, where we first trace them. However, we know with 
certainty that, in the beginning of the fifteenth century (about the time of 
Timiw’s conquest), they appeared in Germany, and were soon scattered over 
Europe, as far as Spain. They arrived in France on the 17th of August, 
1427 A.D. Their number now, in all, has been estimated at about seven 
hundred thousand, and they are scattered over most countries of the habita-
