Excerpt from Illustrated, Vol. 1The Editor's special acknowledgments are due to those gentlemen who so kindly responded to his request for literary assistance. It is proper to say that Mr. James smith, of Melbourne, kindly undertook the responsibility for the whole of the Vic torian section, and also for that of Tasmania, the Rev. H. T. Burgess, for South Australia, Mr. W. H. Traill, for Queensland, Sir T. Cockburn-campbei.l, Bart, for Western Australia, Mr. H. Brett, for New Zealand, and Mr. Frank J. Donohue, for the Administrative and the social and political sections. The names of the several contributors are acknowledged in the Table of Contents, and the Editor feels under special obligations to those missionaries and ex-missionaries who have written on the Islands, and who have furnished information which few but themselves could supply. It has been a matter of great regret that the Editor has been unable to avail himself of all the valuable matter put before him, but in a publication of this kind, where the number of parts is limited from the outset, where the occasional use of smaller type is not available, and where each article has to be fitted with Procrustean rigour to the exact space allotted to it. Compression and omission have been unavoidable.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
