Excerpt from Missionary Life in Samoa, as Exhibited in the Journals of the Late George Archibald Lundie: During the Revival in Tutuila in 1840-41 The Editor of these journals had spent many hours over them, which generally were begun with mourning, but led gradually to thankfulness and praise, when the idea arose, that like the lepers regaling in the deserted camp of the Syrians, we ought not to feast alone. "We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king's household." The idea became more vivid, till by degrees conscience was enlisted in the cause, and the result is, that to the household of Our King this little work is humbly and affectionately offered. The mixed character of the subjects may require some apology. In attempting to strip the missionary intelligence of all the private matter, it was found to be deprived, not only of its verisimilitude, but also of much of its interest.

Excerpt from Pearls of the Pacific: Being Sketches of Missionary Life and Work in Samoa and Other Islands in the South Seas If you will take your atlas and look at the map of the world (or, if there is a globe at school, that will do better still), you will see to the north of New Zealand a lot of dots, almost as if baby had been trying to write. Those dots represent islands, and amongst those islands you will see the words Samoa, or Navigators' Islands. And if you will look at the Map of Samoa in this book you will see that the four largest islands are called savaii, upolu, tutuila and manua. Aren't they curious names? I think next time you see a missionary from Samoa you had better ask him how to pronounce them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
