Excerpt from Polynesian Reminiscences: Or Life in the South Pacific Islands Having made several voyages to the South Seas when attached to Government expeditions, I have a tolerably fair knowledge of that portion of the globe, and I may perhaps be allowed to state that Mr. Pritchard's pages appear to me to be amongst the most trustworthy and valuable that have as yet issued from the London press, and that they ought to take rank with Ellis's 'polynesian Researches' and Mariner's 'tonga, ' the two classical works on Polynesia.
