Humane Policy; or Justice to the Aborigines of New Settlements
$1,200.00 Add 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. -

Anglican missionary E. J. Peck (1850-1924) founded the first permanent mission on Baffin Island, Nunavut. He was later offered a whaling station on Blacklead Island as a mission, where he lived in relative isolation with the Inuit people for ten years. Peck was an astute ethnographer. Lifestyles, belief systems, legends, and shamananic rituals of the Inuit were all documented at the request of anthropologist Franz Boas. Peck is particularly notable for developing Inuktitut syllabics and the first substantial English-Inuktitut dictionary, using the Cree syllabary and Horden and Watkins orthography. He translated large parts of scripture into Inuktitut, introducing written language into a previously oral tradition. An insight into a culture as well as an individual missionary.
