First published in 1890 in a run of just 200 copies, anthropologist
Henry Ling Roth's The Aborigines of Tasmania provides a
comprehensive account of native Tasmanians' life and culture. Roth,
writing in the wake of the Tasmanian Aborigines' extinction,
produces 'an approach to absolute completeness' that relies on the
accounts of the explorers, colonisers, and anthropologists who
preceded him. His work covers an exhaustive range of detail, from
the Tasmanians' mannerisms to their psychology, origin, and
language. Compiling his predecessors' observations and arguments,
Roth often sets opinions in opposition to highlight the lack of
consensus amongst those who encountered the Tasmanians. Roth's book
is additionally valuable for the 'vocabularies' included in his
appendices. The 1899 edition (225 copies) revises and expands the
first, adding photographs to the first edition's illustrations as
well as new appendices. It made an innovative and lasting
contribution to an established research tradition.
