188081962Adelaide: E. Spiller Government Printer 1880. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide E. Spiller Government Printer 1880/ 1878. Octavo 24 pages. Title-wrappers slightly marked and a little dusty; tear to one leaf expertly closed; bottom corner of another leaf a little marked; a very good copy. First published as a separate pamphlet in 1878 it was reissued in 1879 as an addendum to Taplin's 'The Folklore Manners Customs and Languages of the South Australian Aborigines' and reprinted the following year with reset contents page and variant title page. The title page differs in a number of ways: the recently deceased author is now referred to as 'the late'; the Government Printer is E. Spiller not W.C. Cox; the date is 1880 and different fonts have been used. Interestingly we have discovered that both the 1878 and 1880 imprints have been used as addenda to the 1879 book and it is almost certainly another way of determining the status of the original photographs in that work.
