The Author's object has been to give the reader an idea - faint and imperfect, perhaps, but.as far as it goes truthful - of the kind of life an Englishman may expect to lead who makes Fiji his home. The work professes to be written mainly from the point of View of a planter, and lays no claim either to original re search or scientific accuracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Princess of Fiji When I look back over fifty years to wild scenes amid wild folk in s distant quarter of the globe, and recall to mind that I shared in all this wildness, that my companions were fierce savages, that my very existence depended on the mercy of men to whom mercy was but a transient emotion, that the club always hung above my head and there was no lack of brawny arms to swing it, that the oven was always hot to receive me and there was no lack of shining teeth to eat, then I am filled with a diversity of thought and I scarcely know what to think of it all. Fifty years ago I was just coming into manhood and enjoying the new strength and freedom of life, everything was still before me, and reckless of the future I heaped day on day, with never a recollection of the past, for at one-and-twenty one has no reminiscences.

Download or read book Tales from Old Fiji (Classic Reprint) written by Lorimer Fison and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From Old Fiji What the Tongans say about Napoleon is of no great value, except as showing how quickly and easily a myth may establish itself. If Vave of Kolonga had got hold of his story in the heathen days from one of the old beach-coamers, and if the schoolmaster had not come to the islands, by the time when he had become a grand father the myth would have grown into a true saying handed down from the ancestors. I cannot bring this short preface to a close without acknowledging the debt of gratitude that I owe in the first place to Mr. W. W. Skeat, who has taken great pains in editing my rough mss. And preparing the Appendix and Index. His kindness has laid me under a great obligation to him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fiji of to-Day The Fiji of Yesterday is rapidly becoming history. Its dark deeds are gradually being forgotten. That horrible stain of human blood is gone from the earth, and the grass is green again - nay; greener. In the Fiji of To-day new conditions of life have arisen, and these have given birth to new problems and difficulties. Their immediacy and seriousness are the chief reasons for the appearance of this book. Around two great facts the main problems of the book gather. The first is that Me Fijian is dying. No juggling with figures can deceive us in this particular, for at the rate of fifteen hundred per annum does this mortal decrease continue. When a serious epidemic touches the islands, old Charon's barque is laden to the very brim. In 1875 the measles carried off a quarter of the population Fifty years ago there were inhabitants: to-day, there are The naked truth, therefore, faces us that, unless we find some method of arresting 'this decrease, in a few score years the Fijian Church, of which Christendom has been so proud, will be blotted out.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Islands Far Away: Fijian Pictures With Pen and Brush My visit to Fiji worked such wonders for me, in filling my mind with interest and giving me a new outlook on life, that I long to bestow a little of the benefit of my trip upon others, who may be circumstanced much as I was but who cannot have the same advantages. It is in this spirit that the book has been written, and if it brings a little brightness, and mental rest and refreshment to even a few, I shall feel richly rewarded. I should like to take this opportunity of offering my sincere thanks to Sir Everard im Thurn, without whose kind encouragement I should never have ventured to launch my little craft, and whose sympathetic assistance all through has been invaluable. I have particular cause to be grateful to him for the generous way in which he put his unique Pacific library at my disposal, and for supplying the very interesting introduction and glossary. My especial thanks are also due to all the kind residents in Fiji who made a stranger so welcome, and who patiently answered my many questions, furnishing me with an immense amount of interesting information; and who grudged neither time nor trouble to make my stay pleasant and help me on my way.

Download or read book The Strange Adventures of a Whale's Tooth written by Wallace Deane and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Strange Adventures of a Whale's Tooth: A Missionary Story of Fiji for Young People and Others The events related in the following pages are chiefly based on facts, and especially so in that chapter describing occurrences which arose out of Mr. Langham's journey into the interior of Fiji. The details were given to me verbatim by a par ticipant in those thrilling episodes. The customs referred to in the course of the story are well known to most of us who are acquainted with the native character. Even the tests of the future world, which are collected in the chapter entitled A Dream, have their counterparts in the beliefs of several tribes in Lomaiviti and Kadavu. As the story proceeds, the whale's tooth which relates it grows in knowledge, and finally comes to rest on a nail in a missionary's home.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from James Calvert of Fiji The chief events of his Missionary History had been already told in the published story of the regeneration of Fiji, wherein, indeed, the chronicle of his life is largely given. It has caused me some little embarrassment that the account of the Fiji Mission was, thirty-five years ago, either written or put into form by my own hand. Thus, in re-telling portions of it here, I have been sometimes obliged to quote or to paraphrase my own words.
