<p>Textile production has long been a subject of interest to the practical craft enthusiast and to the anthropologist, in whose field it is considered one of the most complex areas to describe. The author of "Studies in Primitive Looms", H. Ling Roth was not only an anthropologist of note bu also a practical man. his working life was spent in the West Yorkshire woolen trade, but his overriding hobby was the study of textile appliances from all cultures and all periods. That he succeeded in producing a book of considerable importance is illustrated by the fact that it has not been superseded by any other work since it first appeared in 1918. The text and the illustrations are perhaps dated, but the facts and the conclusions are as fresh and as important as ever. The book will be of particular interest to anyone working on handmade textiles. Students of anthropology, who should also have a knowledge of cloth production, must include it in their reading.</p>

Port Mackay is a district of Queensland, Australia, best known for its production of cane sugar. It was first settled in the 1860s, when John Mackay (1839-1914) successfully completed a mission to claim farmland and introduce agriculture there. First published in 1908, this study by the businessman and keen amateur anthropologist Henry Ling Roth (1855-1925) explores the district's history, tracing its development from an uncharted territory barely noticed by early European explorers to a burgeoning community that profited from its ideal conditions for cultivation. Drawing on extensive notes from his visits to the region over thirty years, as well as some fascinating anecdotal accounts from settlers, Roth explores the achievements of Port Mackay's early colonists in agriculture, industry and sea trading. The book contains maps and photographs, and includes a short account of the local Aboriginal population, and substantial notes on natural history and sporting pursuits.
