Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Language of the Aborigines of the Colony of Victoria and Other Australian Districts: With Parallel Translations and Familiar Specimens in Dialogue, as a Guide to Aboriginal Protectors and Others Engaged in Ameliorating Their Condition When the Author first commenced the present compilation of the Language of the Aborigines of the Colony of Victoria, it was his intention to have combined with it a lucid description of the customs, primitive habits, and religious superstitions, of a people who are evidently fast sharing the fate of their savage prototypes of the adjoining islands. But after finishing the Language, to which is appended some specimens in dialogue, he discovered that to accomplish his original design, touching their customs and ceremonies, would be to extend the work beyond the prescribed limit, and thereby incurring (unless the public award a liberal patronage) expenses beyond the Author's means; he therefore finds himself compelled to give only a short sketch of that which he had originally intended to have published at length; should, however, sufficient encouragement be given to the present work, the Author will be happy to furnish, from the abundant materials at his command, a separate work, - treating on that subject, so little known, - the habits and customs of the Aborigines of Australia.
