In this 1902 published work teacher and historian James Bonwick (1817-1906) recalls his lifelong contribution to the fields of education and historical writing. The author traces his life from boyhood to the years he spent in Australia, establishing schools and recording the lives of the Tasmanian aborigines.

A sympathetic anthropological account of the Tasmanian aborigines by non-conformist mystic James Bonwick (1817-1906), whose further work on the subject was cited by Darwin, provides important source material about this nearly extinct people and gives insights into the morally difficult subjects of nineteenth-century anthropology and colonial settlement.
