Our knowledge of the life, manners, and customary laws of many\r\nAustralian tribes has, in recent years, been vastly increased by the\r\nadmirable works of Mr. Howitt, and of Messrs. Spencer and Gillen. But\r\nMrs. Parker treats of a tribe which, hitherto, has hardly been\r\nmentioned by anthropologists, and she has had unexampled opportunities\r\nof study. It is hardly possible for a scientific male observer to be\r\nintimately familiar with the women and children of a savage tribe. Mrs.\r\nParker, on the other hand, has had, as regards the women and children\r\nof the Euahlayi, all the advantages of the squire's wife in a rural\r\nneighbourhood, supposing the squire's wife to be an intelligent and\r\nsympathetic lady, with a strong taste for the study of folklore and\r\nrustic custom. Among the Zulus, we know, it is the elder women who tell\r\nthe popular tales, so carefully translated and edited by Bishop\r\nColenso. Mrs. Parker has already published two volumes of Euahlayi\r\ntales, though I do not know that I have ever seen them cited, except by\r\nmyself, in anthropological discussion. As they contain many beautiful\r\nand romantic touches, and references to the Euahlayi 'All Father,' or\r\npaternal 'super man,' Byamee, they may possibly have been regarded as\r\ndubious materials, dressed up for the European market. Mrs. Parker's\r\nnew volume, I hope, will prove that she is a close scientific observer,\r\nwho must be reckoned with by students. She has not scurried through the\r\nregion occupied by her tribe, but has had them constantly under her\r\neyes for a number of years.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 3819 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Parker, K.
