Excerpt from The Mystic Rose: A Study of Primitive Marriage
The present theory was outlined about seven years ago, and a preliminary portion was published in the Journal of the Anthropological Institute for 1895 (vol. xxiv.). In that paper the main lines of the argument were laid down, and it was suggested that the explanation of marriage ceremonies and systems was to be developed thereon. The subsequent loss of a good deal of my materials, not yet all recovered, has been balanced by the publication of Messrs. Spencer and Gillen's valuable researches amongst the Central Australian natives, which confirm my conclusions in many ways.
