<P><SPAN LANG="en-us"><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">R. H. Mathews (1841–1918) was an Australian-born surveyor and self-taught anthropologist. >From 1893 until his death in 1918, he made it his mission to record all ‘new and interesting facts’ about Aboriginal Australia. Despite falling foul of a number of the most powerful figures in British and Australian anthropology, Mathews published some 2200 pages of anthropological reportage in English, French and German. His legacy is an outstanding record of Aboriginal culture in the Federation period. The book contains seventeen papers published originally in French and German and never before translated into English, with commentary by Martin Thomas, the leading scholar of the works of R.H. Mathews.</FONT><I></I></SPAN></P>
