    A fascinating and comprehensive study of the nineteenth-century in the Pacific, reviewing scientific, sociological, historical, missionary, commercial, educational, political, and literary developments in this area. 

    With a particular focus on Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific Islands, including the Maori people, Fiji, the Indo-Fijian population, New Guinea, British colonialism, and more. 

    The first edition of this work. 

    Edited by James Cowell, including an introduction by W.H. Fitchett, and containing contributions from numerous individuals in these fields of study.
