It has been a long wait for the Australian-born surveyor who began his career as an anthropologist at the age of 52 with the 1893 publication of a brief paper on New South Wales rock art. Apart from a few short booklets, Mathews' book of 1905, Ethnological Notes on the Aboriginal Tribes of New South Wales and Victoria, was his only work of anthropology to be published as a freestanding volume. A reprint of a long article published the previous year, it was a modest tome in that age of doorstopper monographs - 'little more than a pamphlet' according to Mathews' friend, the British folklorist E. S. Hartland. There was certainly an expectation that a writer so prolific as Mathews would disseminate his work in a substantial book. As Arnold van Gennep, the Parisian anthropologist, pointed out to him, 'your publications are for the most part overlooked because they are scattered amongst a mass of periodicals and it is a very difficult matter to have them all at one time in hand....'. Van Gennep recommended that Mathews immediately arrange for their 'publication in 2 or 3 volumes' - advice endorsed by Hartland who was enlisted to work with Mathews ornithologist son Gregory, then living in England, to place a manuscript with a London publisher (see Correspondence, this volume). But these efforts were unsuccessful and R. H. Mathews died in 1918 without ever publishing his magnum opus." -- Provided by publisher. 606 $aEthnologists$xSocial life and customs$zAustralia$vBiography 606 $aEthnology$xLanguages$zAustralia 606 $aAboriginal Australians 606 $aAnthropology - Theory and criticism$2aiatsiss 606 $aCeremonies - Secret / sacred$2aiatsiss 606 $aSocial organisation - Kinship$2aiatsiss 606 $aSocial organisation - Kinship - Systems$2aiatsiss 606 $aArt - Rock art$2aiatsiss 606 $aStories and motifs$2aiatsiss 606 $aInitiation - Subincision$2aiatsiss 606 $aInitiation$2aiatsiss 606 $aGundungurra / Gandangara people S60$2aiatsisl 606 $aBundjalung people E12$2aiatsisl 606 $aWayilwan language D20$2aiatsisl 606 $aKurnu language D25$2aiatsisl 606 $aKurnu people D25$2aiatsisl 606 $aBidawal people S49$2aiatsisl 606 $aGubbi Gubbi people E29$2aiatsisl 607 $aMortlake / Mount Shadwell (W Vic SJ54-12)$2aiatsisp 607 $aMount Coolangatta (NSW S Coast SI56-09)$2aiatsisp 607 $aAustralia$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aEthnologists$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aEthnology$xLanguages 615 0$aAboriginal Australians. 615 7$aAnthropology - Theory and criticism. 615 7$aCeremonies - Secret / sacred. 615 7$aSocial organisation - Kinship. 615 7$aSocial organisation - Kinship - Systems. 615 7$aArt - Rock art. 615 7$aStories and motifs. 615 7$aInitiation - Subincision. 615 7$aInitiation. 615 7$aGundungurra / Gandangara people S60. 615 7$aBundjalung people E12. 615 7$aWayilwan language D20. 615 7$aKurnu language D25. 615 7$aKurnu people D25. 615 7$aBidawal people S49. 615 7$aGubbi Gubbi people E29. 676 $a305.800994 700 $aMathews$b R.
