Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gospel in Futuna: With Chapters on the Islands of the New Hebrides, the People, Their Customs, Religious Beliefs, Etc
The chapters on the work of Rev. Joseph Cope land, my predecessor, and that Of the teachers in the island before him, were drawn up chie?y from his letters and reports, and from those of the other early missionaries, and partially from information supplied by the natives of Aneityum and Futuna.
The references to customs and religious beliefs in other islands were kindly supplied by the missionaries, as well as by natives. In the chapter on the Lan guages of the New Hebrides I have endeavoured to give, in few and simple words, the main peculiarities of the numerous tongues in the group.
