Excerpt from A Descriptive Vocabulary of the Language in Common Use Amongst the Aborigines of Western Australia: With Copious Meanings, Embodying Much Interesting Information Regarding the Habits, Manners, and Customs of the Natives, and the Natural History of the Country Form, and upon a more comprehensive plan; embracing, also, such additions and alterations as have been the natural result of longer time, greater experience, and a more familiar acquaintance with the language. In the first place, it contains several hundred additional words, inclusive of such tenses of the verbs as have been accurately ascertained (for although the three known tenses are tolerably regular, they are not invariably so). In the next place, the meanings are in general given in a more copious form, and whenever a word has required or admitted of it, the opportunity has been taken of giving an account of everything interesting in the habits, manners, and customs of the aborigines, and in the natural history of the country. In the third place, the English and Australian part has been\addcd, which, it was considered, would be of great assistance to such as desire to ascertain any word in the language.
