For those wishing to know: a translation (c1804) of Grellmann's important 
work on the origin of the Gypsies.  Grellmann's conclusion (now accepted 
as correct) was that the Gypsies were a people from northern Indian, but 
perhaps his more important point was that he insisted on proper method in 
such matters, not wild speculation on one piece of evidence.  The book 
contains an extensive list of Romany words with equivalents etc.

All the best,
