ABORIGINES , a mythical See also:people of central See also:Italy, connected in legendary See also:history with See also:Aeneas, See also:Latinus and See also:Evander. They were supposed to have descended from their See also:mountain See also:home near Reate (an See also:ancient See also:Sabine See also:town) upon See also:Latium, whence they expelled the Siceli and subsequently settled down as See also:Latini under a See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)
- KING, EDWARD (1612–1637)
- KING, EDWARD (1829–1910)
- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)
- KING, WILLIAM (1650-1729)
- KING, WILLIAM (1663–1712)
King Latinus (See also:Dion Halic. i. 9. 6o). The most generally accepted See also:etymology of the name (ab origin), according to which they were the See also:original inhabitants'( = Gk. abrOxOover) of the See also:country, is inconsistent with the fact that the See also:oldest authorities (e.g. See also:Cato in his Origins) regarded them as Hellenic immigrants, not as a native See also:Italian people. Other explanations suggested are arborigines, "See also:- TREE (0. Eng. treo, treow, cf. Dan. tree, Swed. Odd, tree, trd, timber; allied forms are found in Russ. drevo, Gr. opus, oak, and 36pv, spear, Welsh derw, Irish darog, oak, and Skr. dare, wood)
- TREE, SIR HERBERT BEERBOHM (1853- )
tree-See also:born," and aberrigines, "nomads." See also:Historical and ethnographical discussions have led to no result; the most that can be said is that, if not a See also:general See also:term, "aborigines " may be the name of an Italian stock, about whom the ancients knew no more than ourselves.
In See also:modern times the term "Aborigines" has been extended in signification, and is used to indicate the inhabitants found in a country at its first See also:discovery, in contradistinction to colonies or new races, the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time of whose introduction into the country is known.
The Aborigines' See also:Protection Society was founded in 1838 in See also:England as the result of a royal See also:commission appointed at the instance of See also:Sir T. Fowell See also:Buxton to, inquire into the treatment of the indigenous populations of the various See also:British colonies, The inquiry revealed the See also:gross See also:cruelty and injustice with which the natives had been often treated. Since its See also:foundation the society has done much to make See also:English colonization a synonym for humane and generous treatment of See also:savage races.
