Book Description
Excerpt from A Missionary Voyage to the Southern Pacific Ocean: Performed in the Years 1796, 1797, 1798, in the Ship Duff, Commanded by Captain James Wilson; Compiled From Journals of the Officers and the Missionaries The relation which geographical knowledge bears to mifiionary exertion is as obvious as it is important. If fincere and enlightened Chrifiians had been attentive to the magnitude, the population, and the moral and religious Rate of the countries which are {till deftitute of the gofpel, it feems impoflible that they fhould ever have remitted their labours for the converfion of the heathen. A deficiency of information upon thefe interefiing fubjeé'ts is not merely to be la mented as an occafion of fatal negligence; it is alfo to be guarded againfi as a caufe of error, and of failure, in the conduét of mifiionary cfiorts. If thefe are excited only by cafual difcoveries of the wretched condition in which fome detached parts of the heathen world exift, other nations are liable to be difregarded, which, in a variety of refpefis, might be preferable objefts of evangelical miflions.

Book Description
Were there major population collapses on Pacific Islands following first contact with the West? If so, what were the actual population numbers for islands such as Hawai‘i, Tahiti, or New Caledonia? Is it possible to develop new methods for tracking the long-term histories of island populations? These and related questions are at the heart of this new book, which draws together cutting-edge research by archaeologists, ethnographers, and demographers. In their accounts of exploration, early European voyagers in the Pacific frequently described the teeming populations they encountered on island after island. Yet missionary censuses and later nineteenth-century records often indicate much smaller populations on Pacific Islands, leading many scholars to debunk the explorers’ figures as romantic exaggerations. Recently, the debate over the indigenous populations of the Pacific has intensified, and this book addresses the problem from new perspectives. Rather than rehash old data and arguments about the validity of explorers’ or missionaries’ accounts, the contributors to this volume offer a series of case studies grounded in new empirical data derived from original archaeological fieldwork and from archival historical research. Case studies are presented for the Hawaiian Islands, Mo‘orea, the Marquesas, Tonga, Samoa, the Tokelau Islands, New Caledonia, Aneityum (Vanuatu), and Kosrae.

Book Description
For thirty years before the coming of the European missionaries, European explorers were able to observe Tahitian society as it had existed for centuries. Now Edwin Ferdon, Polynesian archaeologist and veteran of Thor Heyerdah's expedition to Easter Island, has interwoven their records to show us in fascinating detail what that society was like.
