E MISSION AT POINT MACLEAY. BY THE REV. GEORGE TAPLIN, msnOlTART TO TBI ABORIOHneS, POINT MAOLBAT, SOUTH AVSTRALU. Digiti ized by Google Digiti ized by Google PBEFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. When I came to this colony in 1849, my attention was attracted by the camps of Aborigines on the Adelaide Park Lands, and I felt a desire to try to do something for their spiritual and tem- poral welfare; but years were to pass away before that desire could be gratified. Twenty years ago I was led to take up my residence near what is now the town of Port Elliot. The natives came about our house from the neighbouring camps, and I soon found that.
