The Aborigines of Western Australia is a comprehensive book by Albert F. Calvert that provides a detailed account of the Indigenous people of Western Australia. The book covers various aspects of the Aborigines’ life, including their social organization, customs, beliefs, and traditions. Calvert also delves into the history of the Aborigines, their interactions with European settlers, and the impact of colonization on their culture and way of life. The book is based on Calvert’s personal experiences and observations during his travels throughout Western Australia, and it includes numerous illustrations and photographs to enhance the reader’s understanding of the Aborigines’ culture and way of life. Overall, The Aborigines of Western Australia is an informative and engaging read for anyone interested in learning about the history and culture of Australia’s Indigenous people.Many of our habits, doubtless, they refuse to imitate. They will cook their food on the embers, but object to boiling or steaming; most kinds of work they rather object to, but smoking and drinking are of course readily acquired. Praiseworthy efforts have been made by both Protestant and Catholic Missionaries among the natives of Western Australia; the most successful of the missions being that started by Bishop Salvado. This Monastic Institution at New Norcia--conducted by Spanish monks--was that spoken of by Sir F. Napier Broome, G.C.M.G., in a paper read by him to the members of the Royal Colonial Institute some years ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
