Physical Description
09.12.1903. From B.S. (Melbourne) to J.G.F. More about the missing proof pages. Criticism of an article by Durkheim referred to in a footnote on one of the missing pages. Strong criticism of the work (in anthropology) of “semi-educated German Lutheran missionaries”. A paper by Strehlow only occupies 1½ pp. foolscap “but has more utter misleading nonsense packed into a small space than I recollect having come across before”. Lang has sent this paper to B.S. for perusal and comment before translation and appearance in “Folklore”. The fallacious idea of native belief in “a High God”.
