Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Southern World: Journal of a Deputation From the Wesleyan Conference to Australia and Polynesia; Including Notices of a Visit to the Gold-Fields
The 'author of the following pages having in eighteen months passed over a large portion of the globe, his remarks on the different countries visited are necessarily brief. He has described things as they appeared to him; and although interspersing his journal with several miscellaneous subjects, he has endeavoured to keep in view the object of his mission. No labour has been spared to obtain correct information on the various topics introduced: and he would here gratefully acknowledge his obligation to the Missionaries and other gentlemen, for the readiness and cleamess with which they answered his numerous inquiries, and thus put him in pos session of much valuable information, which he could not otherwise have obtained.
