The foreign-language press in Australia, 1848-1964 »
Publication date: 1967
This is the first sociological study of its kind published since the late Robert E. Park's classic, The Immigrant Press and Its Control, appeared in the United States in 1922. No fewer than 390 periodical publications in twenty-nine languages have been published in Australia since 1848. This work seeks to document fully the history of the immigrant press and to analyse the content of a dozen prominent newspapers currently published in Australia. The authors discuss the changing face of the immigrant press, its fluctuating success, and the contrasting fortunes of political and religious periodicals. The special functions of the press and its role in the assimilation of immigrants are carefully scrutinized in the light of a considerable quantity of evidence collected during the course of interviews with the editors and publishers. The book is one of the very few thoroughly professional pieces of sociological investigation in Australia. It is likely to be, and to remain, of interest to students of migration, religious groups, and the press, and to historians, as well as to members of the general public who would like to find out something about 'all those foreign faces {u2026} at the news-stall and the delicatessen'.
Official titles of the former Han Dynasty: an index »
Publication date: 1967
In the three volumes of The History of the Former Han Dynasty, Professor H. H. Dubs translated the basic annals and the biography of the usurper Wang Mang from the Han shu of Pan Ku. Official Titles of the Former Han Dynasty, which has been compiled on Professor Dubs's authority and with the aid of his notes, sets out his English translations for the Chinese official titles of that time. The Former Han Dynasty ruled China from 206 b.c. to a.d. 9, and its administrative system set the pattern for the empires that followed. This index contains official titles mentioned in the Treatise of Officials of Han shu and in the Former Han section of the Li-tai chih-kuan piao, both valuable sources for the study of the bureaucracy of the empire. The translations put forward by Professor Dubs have already received wide circulation and acceptance among scholars, although they have never before appeared in a formal list. This index fills that gap in presentation, and should be an invaluable aid to the study of the earliest empires of China.

An autobiography; or, Tales and legends of Canberra pioneers »
Publication date: 1967
In 1856, at the age of six, Samuel Shumack came to the Duntroon Estate in Canberra. He farmed in the district until 1915. Forced by injury to retire from active farming, Shumack, at the age of 59, began to record his memories of old Canberra. He was an acute and accurate observer. His stories move freely from one episode to the next. The text is enhanced by eight colour plates by artist Gray Smith. This fascinating book will be treasured by all who have an interest in Canberra's history. Chap. 11, 148-151.; Account of Aborigines in Canberra area, 1856 to 1900; Local Aborigines said to number about 70 in 1856; Mentions visit of 3-400 South Coast Aborigines in 1862 of 1863; Measles epidemic c. 1862; Depredations, etc
Fragments of empire: a history of the western Pacific High Commission, 1877-1914 »
Publication date: 1967
During the nineteenth century Britain{u2019}s overseas administrative responsibilities related not only to her major colonial dependencies but also to a multitude of small territories and islands, whither her citizens were drawn by evangelism or the lure of trade. Pre-eminent among such areas were the Western Pacific islands, where Britons seeking to collect copra, grow cotton, and recruit labourers for plantations in Fiji and Queensland constituted a problem in law and order. In 1877 the Governor of the recently ceded Crown Colony of Fiji was appointed High Commissioner and Consul-General; his duties included the control of the operations of his own nationals as well as treating with and advising the embryonic native governments of Samoa and Tonga. The present book is largely concerned with the various High Commissioners{u2019} efforts to carry out their difficult task, made more difficult by inadequate financial resources. The author has looked at the local scene in detail: the fluid socio-political system of Samoa, the rigid hierarchical structure of Tonga, the relations between islanders, traders, recruiters, and planters in the New Hebrides, Solomon, and Gilbert Islands. This well-documented study reflects the author{u2019}s thorough acquaintance with local conditions and with the intricacies of imperial policy which should be of great value to the scholar, while the colourful nature of the subject and the vigorous way the story of the islands is unfolded will appeal greatly to the general reader.
Island populations of the Pacific »
Publication date: 1967
Throughout the nineteenth century there were many, including scholars, who believed that the peoples of Polynesia were doomed to extinction. The reasons suggested for the supposedly dramatic declines in population numbers were many and varied, but few authors questioned the reality of the declines or their universality. In this book a demographer reappraises the basic estimates and counts of some of these populations, setting them in the context of contemporary knowledge and events, in an attempt to trace the demographic fortunes of these island populations in the years before 1956, the year in which censuses were taken simultaneously and more or less uniformly for all but one of these island groups. The book contains much new and hitherto unpublished material, gleaned from such diverse sources as the letters and journals of missionaries in the nineteenth century and contemporary registers of births and deaths. Not only is it an important work of reference for all scholars concerned with these island populations but it is of value to anyone interested in the history or future development of these islands.

Elements of the megalithic complex in Southeast Asia: an annotated bibliography »
Publication date: 1967
Of all the enigmas of archaeology, the megalithic complex is probably the most intriguing; it is regarded today by some scholars as the first world-wide religious movement, by others as a well-defined stage of civilization, while still others deny completely its existence as an identifiable, meaningful cultural entity. Elements of this complex appear to have spread over the entire globe, but Southeast Asia is one of the few regions where they can still be found both as part of living cultures and in the form of prehistoric remains. There is therefore a challenging opportunity for interdisciplinary study in Southeast Asia which has long since been lost in other parts of the world. The present work is intended to facilitate and foster research on the Southeast Asian megalithic complex by providing a survey of the work published in this field to date.

The emigrant family or The story of an Australian settler »
Publication date: 1967
The Emigrant Family was first published in three volumes in 1849, with a second edition, titled Martin Beck after its villain and dominant character, appearing in 1852. The appeal of this romantic novel set in New South Wales in the 1830s is no longer limited to literary historians. Vivid scenic descriptions and informed comment on the life and customs of the young colony make it absorbing reading for those interested in social history; while the charming - if often contrived - and sometimes exciting story of the Bracton family and their friends will delight the fireside reader as he relaxes in an age of gentleman pioneers and ladies who, despite vapours and strong emotions, were surprisingly tough. Alexander Harris sailed for Sydney in 1825. He seems to have been employed at different times as a clerk, a tutor, and a timber-getter, travelling particularly in the Hunter Valley, Illawarra, Shoalhaven, and Bathurst areas of New South Wales. His sympathies were always with the emancipist and the native-born colonial rather than the official and military classes, and this attitude, as well as the knowledge he gained of such things as aboriginal pidgin, methods of cattle branding and stealing, stockyard construction, and treatment of convicts, can be seen in his writings. He is also known to be the author of Settlers and Convicts, a settler's account of his experiences in New South Wales, and other semi-autobiographical works.
