Geographical Description of the Henrey Islands?Geological Character of the Islands generally?Their Classification?The Ohject for which, and the Spirit in which, Knowledge should be sought?On Coral Formations ?Reefs and Islands not the work of Insects. The Island of Raiatea, the largest and most central of the Society Islands, about 100 miles from Tahiti, has been the immediate scene of my labours since I joined the mission, in 1817; but, as much information has been given, in various ways, respecting the Tahitian and Society Islands, I shall say little about them. The two groups, about which the following pages contain much information, are, first, the Hervey; and, secondly, the Samoa, or Navigators Islands; both of which are new fields of Missionary labour. The Hervey Islands are seven in number? Mauke, Mitiaro and Atiu, Mangaia and Rarotonga, Hervey's Island and Aitutaki. They are from 500 to 600 miles west of Tahiti. Very little was known of them until they were visited by myself and colleague, Mr. Bourne, in 1823. To prevent the interruption of the narrative, and to render the sequel more intelligible, I shall give a short description of each island, with its position, size, and population. 18 DKSCRIPTION OF THE ISLANDS. Hervey's Inland, from which the group takes its name, is really composed of two small islets, 19 18' S., 158 54 W. long. It was discovered by Captain Cook, and by him named, in honour of Captain Hervey, R.N., one of the Lords of the Admiralty, and afterwards Earl of Bristol. It is surrounded by a reef, into which there is no entrance. I visited it in 1823, intending to place a native teacher there, as I expected to find a considerable population; but on learning that, by their frequent and exterminating wars, they had reduced ...

Based on John Williams' meticulous documentation of his travels, this 1837 volume offers an insight into the perilous life of a missionary in the early nineteenth century. The author, an ironmonger by trade, set sail for the South Sea Islands in 1817 with the intention of spreading the gospel and introducing modern technology to the region. As well as recounting the frequent threats to his safety from angry natives, war, natural disaster and disease, Williams provides detailed surveys of the peoples, languages and natural environment he encountered and describes with great exuberance and humour 'the impression made upon barbarous people by their first intercourse with civilised man'. Made more poignant by the author's death at the hands of cannibals just two years after the book's publication, this is an extraordinary account of the perseverance and ingenuity of a man who became a hero and martyr for the Protestant missionary movement.
