Was John Bunyan a Gipsy?, by James Simson 51456 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/1/4/5/51456 ] [Files: 51456-0.txt; 51456-h.htm] For those wishing to know: this appears to be a follow-up to James Simson's previous "John Bunyan and the Gipsies" pamphlet and again lashes out at all sorts of people for ignoring his original book, and then the previous pamphlet. I purchased a copy of this a week ago and it makes no sense without the previous pamphlet - hence why I did that too. All the best, David, Quiet and dry England

John Bunyan and the Gipsies, by James Simson 51454 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/5/1/4/5/51454 ] [Files: 51454-0.txt; 51454-h.htm] For those wishing to know: James Simson had edited a book on Gipsies by Walter Simson and added a lot of material in which he made the somewhat startling claim that John Bunyan, author of Pilgrim's Progress etc. was a Gipsy. Simson's book and claim were largely ignored and/or ridiculed and that brought forth, after around two decades, this pamphlet and a number of others (around half of each pamphlet being an advertisement for the original book). James Simson lashes out at the world's leading Gipsy scholars (Groome and Leyland specifically), the world authority on Bunyan, Rev. John Brown, Encyclopedia Britannica etc. I found it unconformtable and somewhat unhinged. All the best, David, England, dry and neither warm nor cold
