Note 151 — Chapter IV · HISTORICAL SURVEY OF THE GYPSY IN EUROPE
Reading edition
[Hoyland writes: “When they arrived in Paris, nearly all of them had their ears bored, with one or two silver rings in each, which they said were esteemed ornaments in their own country. The men were black, their hair curled; the women remarkably black, and all their faces scarred” (Historical Survey of the Gypsies).]
