       Bibliography. 
520    "Almost 90 years on from his death, this is the first book
       -length collection of the writings of Robert Hamilton 
       Mathews. It has been a long wait for the Australian-born 
       surveyor who began his career as an anthropologist at the 
       age of 52 with the 1893 publication of a brief paper on 
       New South Wales rock art. Apart from a few short booklets,
       Mathews book of 1905, Ethnological Notes on the Aboriginal
       Tribes of New South Wales and Victoria, was his only work 
       of anthropology to be published as a freestanding volume. 
       A reprint of a long article published the previous year, 
       it was a modest tome in that age of doorstopper monographs
       - 'little more than a pamphlet' according to Mathews' 
       friend, the British folklorist E.S. Hartland. There was 
       certainly an expectation that a writer so prolific as 
       Mathews would disseminate his work in a substantial book. 
       As Arnold van Gennep, the Parisian anthropologist, pointed
       out to him, 'your publications are for the most part 
       overlooked because they are scattered amongst a mass of 
       periodicals and it is a very difficult matter to have them
       all at one time in hand ... '. Van Gennep recommended that
       Mathews immediately arrange for their 'publication in 2 or
       3 volumes' - advice endorsed by Hartland who was enlisted 
       to work with Mathews ornithologist son Gregory, then 
       living in England, to place a manuscript with a London 
       publisher (see Correspondence, this volume). But these 
       efforts were unsuccessful and R.H. Mathews died in 1918 
       without ever publishing his magnum opus."--Provided by 
       publisher.
