Excerpt from The Light of Melanesia: A Record of Thirty-Five Years Mission Work in the South Seas; Written After a Personal Visitation Made by Request of the Right Rev. John Selwyn, D.D., Late Bishop of Melanesia The illustrations are from photographs taken chiefly by Dr. Welchman and the Rev. A. H. Brittain during my tour; a few are my own handi work. The apparatus belonged to Mr. Beattie, photographer, Hobart, by whose directions we were able to save some ten dozen views from injury until he could develop them. Mr. Beattie is ready to supply photographs and lantern slides at moderate cost. The photograph of Taki is given by the kind permission of Captain Davis, r.n. For the index and for supervision of proofs in England I am indebted to the kindness of the Rev. A. V. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
