A Motif-Index of Luis Rosado Vega’s Mayan Legends
AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartJim C. Tatum
Helskinki: Suomalainen Tiedeakatemia, 2000.The Mayan Culture, long recognised as among the most advanced indigenous groups of Latin America, possesses a rich heritage of mythology and traditions still very apparent in the Yacatan Peninsula at the closing of the twentieth century. Although Mayan legends have been studied and published as early as 1844, there exists no extensive motif-index dealing with the topic. This work attempts to help fill that need by indexing the works of Yacatecan writer Luis Rosaldo Vega. FF Communications No. 271 published by the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters.

Humane Policy; or Justice to the Aborigines of New Settlements
AU$1,200.00 Read MoreAdd to cartS. Bannister
London: Thomas and George Underwood, 1830.Saxe Bannister (1790-1877) was the first Attorney-General of New South Wales, though short-lived in the position due to constant clashing with other figures of the new colony, including over the mistreatment of the Aborigines. Though failing to find content in his work he is noted as being philanthropic and humane in his disposition with “a devotion to the welfare of children, convicts, and coloured inhabitants of the Empire” (ADB). Upon returning to England he authored numerous pamphlets on behalf of indigenous people in the colonies, and this, his longest work on the subject, largely devoted to South Africa, though with numerous references from his time in New South Wales. This copy with the armorial bookplate of Fairclough and the Aborigines Protection Society in manuscript at the crown of the title page.
