"The Aborigines of Australia" by Richard Sadleir is a detailed anthropological account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the culture, customs, and challenges faced by the Aboriginal peoples of Australia, drawing upon firsthand observations from the author's extensive journeys across the continent. The book likely serves to document the Aboriginal way of life while providing insight into the impact of European colonization. At the start of this account, the author reflects on his experiences after arriving in Australia and his appointment to investigate the conditions of the Aboriginal peoples. Sadleir discusses his inquiries into their origins, languages, marriage customs, and social structures, revealing a complex society with established laws and traditions. He highlights the significant shifts brought by colonization, signaling both cultural erosion and the desperate circumstances faced by the Aboriginal communities, which he connects to a need for missionary efforts and better understanding from European settlers. The opening chapters set the stage for a broader discussion about the Aboriginal people and their plight in a rapidly changing world.
