First Australian Edition. Brown cloth covers with black print at spine. The writer of this book should require no introduction to the public. That a gentle lady should have spent nearly forty years of her life in the effort to defend and uplift the aboriginal inhabitants of Australia marks her down as one of the remarkable women of our time. What Mrs. Bates has to say is of her own collecting. She has lived in contact with native tribes in the western and southern portions of the Continent; she has won their confidence and respect; she has been entrusted with a knowledge of their mysteries. **The book has foxing and shelf rubbing at the extremities.**.
