Robert Andrew Scott Macfie was educated at Cambridge, Edinburgh and Göttingen Universities before joining the sugar refining business which his family had owned and operated in Liverpool since 1788. He spent a short while abroad while serving in the army but returned to Liverpool to become one of the first members of the distinguished University Club there. His association with the University Club brought him into contact with the group of brilliant scholars who were at that time building up the University College, a number of whom were also keen Gypsiologists. Amongst his friends in this group were the noted Celtic scholar from Germany, Kuno Meyer, Consul Harald Ehrenborg, the Swedish Gypsiologist and John Sampson, the Librarian at the University of Liverpool, as well as the artists Augustus John and Robert Anning Bell. It was through Sampson that Macfie became interested in Gypsy Studies and the Romani way of life. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
