Descripción
Edizione: the definitive account of john williams? missionary work in the south sea islands. this work is the main source for the life and work of williams, who was perhaps the most successful missionary of his day. he was sent to the society islands in 1816, traveled about the islands where he made frequent and close contact with the native peoples. he made his headquarters at raiatea, but also visited the cook islands and discovered rarotonga, where he sojourned for a considerable time. he voyaged to samoa, tonga and the neighboring islands. he returned to england in 1834 for a four-year period where he commissioned a printing of the new testament and then translated it into rarotongan. he returned to the pacific in 1838 and sailed to the hebrides, but while visiting the island of erromanga he was murdered by cannibals on november 30, 1839.<br> ?very popular in its day for its insights into missionary and native life, williams? narrative went into many editions, and these insights into missionary and native life are very important to a complete understanding of pacific history? (hill p. 327). the books is additionally important for its colour printing process for which baxter received a royal patent. the colour frontispiece is one of the earliest prints created with this new process.
