			R. H. Mathews (1841-1918) was an Australian-born
surveyor and self-taught anthropologist. From 1893 until his death in
1918, he made it his mission to record all 'new and interesting facts'
about Aboriginal Australia. Despite falling foul of a number of the most
powerful figures in British and Australian anthropology, Mathews
published some 2200 pages of anthropological reportage in English,
French and German. His legacy is an outstanding record of Aboriginal
culture in the Federation period.

			The book contains seventeen papers published
originally in French and German and never before translated into
English, with commentary by Martin Thomas, the leading scholar of the
works of R.H. Mathews.
