The Martyrs of Polynesia - Memorials of Missionaries, Native Evangelists, and Native Converts, Who Have Died by the Hand of Violence, From 1799 to 1871 #261133

Most of the papers have already been given to the Australian public through the medium of periodicals, and they are now collected and offered in their present form to a wider circle in the hope that their usefulness will thereby be extended, and the end of their preparation and publication be further pro moted.
