Excerpt from Gems From the Coral Islands, Vol. 2: Or, Incidents of Contrast Between Savage and Christian Life of the South Sea IslandersWith a view, however, to give the reader an insight into the wretchedness and cruelty of the islanders in their heathen state, - the consequent difficulties which have to be overcome, and the plans adopted, both by European missionaries and native teachers, in Opening up intercourse with them, - we have noticed the last visited islands, first, and the first, last.This has been done upon the same principle, and for the same reasons, which would lead us to invite the Christian voyager who might be about to investigate for himself the progress of missions in those lands, to travel from the west to the east.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
