Edward John Eyre ́s Manners and Customs of the Australian Aborigines and the State of their Relations with Europeans was first published in 1845, less than ten years after the establishment of the colony of South Australia. Eyre ́s treatise was republished in hardback in 1997 by the Friends, together with Eyre ́s Journals of Expeditions of Discovery into Central Australia and Overland from Adelaide to King George ́s Sound 1840-1.Part of it, The Manners and Customs of the Aborigines, has now been digitally reproduced in a paperback edition. This fascinating and extremely important work has not, until now, been well known or widely available, because of its incorporation into the better known Journals of Expedition and Discovery.Eyre ́s writing conveys great sympathy for the Aboriginal people, in the upheavals of their lives and the takeover of their country by Europeans. His grave fears for their future, which he expressed clearly and forcefully, can, in the 21st century, be seen as prophetic. Had more colonists shared or heeded Eyre ́s views, they might have increased respect for Aborigines among early settlers, and improved treatment of the local indigenous people from earliest settlement throughout ensuing decades.
