'Some Aboriginals I Have Known'

'Some Aboriginals I Have Known'

Adelaide, W.K. Thomas & Co., Printers, 1895.

Octavo, 15 pages.

Title-wrappers, sewn as issued; spine starting to split at the head and foot; an excellent copy.

A separately-paginated offprint from the Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia (South Australian Branch), Session 1894-5. 'In this paper I shall not dilate upon the treatment of the aboriginal by the European in the past or dwell upon the course that, in my opinion, ought to be adopted in future. That some amends should be made, some attempts to wipe out the dark stain on Australia's fair escutcheon, is alike due to the few of the unfortunate people remaining and to the fame of our county and race.' Provenance: Tom Austen Brown, with his pencilled ownership initials.
