The Aborigines Of Western Australia PDF Download

Excerpt from The Aborigines of Western Australia Regarding the aborigines of Western Australia, the material for even a short sketch is scanty, any treatise on the colony, however, would be incomplete without some reference to the people who, tor countless centuries, have roamed over this immense section of the great island-continent; and in advance of the general history which I contemplate producing, I am induced to publish in pamphlet form the following brief remarks. There exists a theory that all savages are the degraded descendants of civilized ancestors. If this be true, I think the Australian blackboy's period of enlightenment must have existed very far back in the dim twilight of ancient history.
