The Tribe, and Intertribal Relations in Australia (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Tribe, and Intertribal Relations in Australia

The following study aims primarily at investi gating the customs which regulate the relations between certain local groups among the Australian natives,1 in which customs there may be seen the early forms of many of the concepts and principles which make up what is known as International Law. Up till now there has been no attempt made to investigate into the primitive aspect of this division of Law and it cannot but suggest itself that the application in this direction of those methods which are being used for the investigation of National Law may yield results not wholly without value.
