Henze II, 163. - Taylor S. 80. - Forbes 718. - Hocken S. 44. - Erste Ausgabe. - "One of the most important books on the history and ethnology of the Society Islands, by one of the most perceptive of the missionary travelers in the Pacific. The work commences with the author's voyage via Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, and New Zealand ... He was stationed at Tahiti from 1817 to 1822, during which time very little seems to have escaped his notice. There are occasional references and comparisions between Tahiti and the Hawaiian Islands throughout the text, all the more important since Ellis was a resident of both island groups." (Forbes). "[The work] went far to redeem the character of missionaries in the eyes of those who had thought of them as ignorant and narrow minded men" (DNB XVII, 296). - Breitrandiges Exemplar. - Stellenw. leicht fleckig. Einbde. beschabt und bestoßen.
