PASTOBALI9T SYSTEMS 



Apparently, no systematic history of the pastoral state exists 

 though the materials for such a work abound. Among the 

 more compendious treatises may be named, Professor David 

 Duncan's volumes contributed to Herbert Spencer's Descriptive 

 Sociology, and Dr. Scheppig's Hebrews and Phenicians in the 

 same series. Dr. J. G. Frazer's work, Exogamy and Totemism, 

 contains descriptions of many pastoral peoples, especially the 

 Todas and the GoUas, the latter " the gi'eat pastoral caste of 

 the Telegu people." The Todas despise agriculture, while the 

 Gollas acquire lands and engage in farming. Among such 

 African peoples as the Herero, the Bechuanas, the Nandi, the 

 Baganda, the Banyoro, the Bahima, etc., the hunting, the 

 nomadic pastoral, the settled pastoral, and the agricultural 

 stages shade into one another. There are some pregnant re- 

 marks in John Millar's Origin of Ranks, eh. iii.

THE FIRST GREAT PASTOBALIST 



John McArthur was born at Plymouth, in Devonshire, but he 



was of Highland-Scottish origin, and he is represented as having 

 descended from the founder of the clan Campbell. Mr. Burfitt, 

 in the Wool Industry of Australia seeks to vindicate for McArthur 

 a monopoly of the merit of founding the industry at the Anti- 

 podes. He cites approvingly an article from the Sydney Morning 

 Herald, where it is contended that Samuel Marsden bred rather 

 for immediate profit than for prospective advantage. While 

 he augmented the value of pure-bred, fine-wool sheep, he used 

 them to improve the fleece of other breeds. With McArthur, 

 on the other hand, the production of fine Spanish merino wool
