   • 1913–1914, John Sampson, “E Ísus-Xristóskoro Džiipé thai Meribé e Sfjatoné Lukéstar. The Gospel according to Saint Luke; translated into Bulgarian Romani by Bernard Gilliat-Smith: […]”, in Journal of the Gypsy Lore Society, volume VII (New Series), number 3, Edinburgh: […] [F]or the members of the Gypsy Lore Society, […] by T[homas] & A[rchibald] Constable, […], →ISSN, →OCLC, Reviews section, page 233:

     [I]n spite of serious losses by the way, the dialects of Central and Northern Europe ‘as spoken to-day’ excel in vocabularial purity those of the more primitive Bulgarian and Rumanian Gypsies.

   • 1923 October, “Turner, Julia. The Psychology of Self-Consciousness. […]”, in Smith Ely Jelliffe, editor, The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease […], volume 58, number 4, New York, N.Y., →ISSN, →OCLC, Book Reviews section, pages 407–408:

In saying this we are not unmindful that the author herself provides a glossary to aid us in this procedure. This glossary, however, is more of an index than an explanation of her vocabularial eccentricities.
