Eaglehawk And Crow - John Mathew - Bog

""Eaglehawk And Crow: A Study Of The Australian Aborigines"" is a book written by John Mathew in 1899. It is a comprehensive study of the Australian Aboriginal people, including an inquiry into their origin and a survey of Australian languages. The book covers various aspects of the Aboriginal culture, such as their social organization, customs, beliefs, and practices. Mathew also examines the impact of European colonization on the Aboriginal people and their way of life. The title ""Eaglehawk And Crow"" refers to two prominent totemic animals in Aboriginal culture, and Mathew uses this as a metaphor for the relationship between the different Aboriginal groups. The book is an important historical record of the Aboriginal people and their culture, and provides valuable insights into their way of life before European colonization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
