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.
Port Mackay is a district of Queensland, Australia, best known for
its production of cane sugar. It was first settled in the 1860s,
when John Mackay (1839-1914) successfully completed a mission to
claim farmland and introduce agriculture there. First published in
1908, this study by the businessman and keen amateur anthropologist
Henry Ling Roth (1855-1925) explores the district's history,
tracing its development from an uncharted territory barely noticed
by early European explorers to a burgeoning community that profited
from its ideal conditions for cultivation. Drawing on extensive
notes from his visits to the region over thirty years, as well as
some fascinating anecdotal accounts from settlers, Roth explores
the achievements of Port Mackay's early colonists in agriculture,
industry and sea trading. The book contains maps and photographs,
and includes a short account of the local Aboriginal population,
and substantial notes on natural history and sporting pursuits.
