Excerpt from A Naturalist in Cannibal Land Mr. Meek's connection with the Tring Museum dates back from the time when he tried his hands at ranching in Queensland. The collections he sent home from that country - and which I acquired from his father - pleased me so much that I gladly accepted his offer of making for my museum collections in the Papuan countries, being confident that A. S. Meek had the pluck and power of endurance necessary for a collector in those unexplored regions. My expectations have been amply fulfilled. The places visited have been numerous, the collections exceedingly rich in novelties and, last but not least, our intercourse with the traveller has always remained most pleasant. When A. S. Meek left Queensland for New Guinea about the middle of the nineties, most of the places he proposed to visit were very little known.

Excerpt from Loloma or Two Years in Cannibal-Land; A Story of Old Fiji In the construction of this tale I have made use of the interesting manuscript here referred to, though of course a very large portion of it was not suited to my purposes. For the rest I have relied upon my own acquaintance with the scenery of the country, and my own recollections of the manners and customs of its people, which I had opportunities of observing during my residence among them. Some portions of the first half of this book have appeared in the Australasian in the form of short stories.

Excerpt from Cannibal-Land: Adventures With a Camera in the New Hebrides Twelve years ago, from the deck of the Snark, I had my first glimpse of the New Hebrides. I was standing my trick at the wheel. Jack Lon don and his wife, Charmian, were beside me. It was just dawn. Slowly, out of the morning mists, an is land took shape. The little ship rose and sank on the Pacific swell. The salt breeze ruffled my hair. I played my trick calmly and in silence, but my heart beat fast at the sight of that bit of land coming up like magic out of the gray water. For I knew that of all the groups in the South Seas, the New Hebrides were held to be the wildest. They were inhabited by the fiercest of cannibals. On many of the islands, white men had scarcely trod. Vast, unknown areas remained to be explored. I thrilled at the thought of facing danger in the haunts of savage men. I was young then. But my longing for adventure in primitive lands has never left me. News of a wild-land country, of unvisited tribes, still thrills me and makes me restless to be 03 in some old South Seas schooner, seeing life as it 'was lived in Europe in the Stone Age and is still lived in out-of-the-way cor ners of the earth that civilization has overlooked.

Excerpt from In Australian Wilds: The Gleanings of a Naturalist Mr. Barrett has in late years seen and studied strange phases of Nature in other lands - in Egypt, in Sinai, in Palestine - where one may still check his impressions by reference to the first book of Nature. And at the end of it he has come back, not to tell us of war, either in its romance or its realities, but to drop quietly into the old haunts and seclusions and give us in his first published words just the old hobby and the old home things. The one thing which all his old friends and admirers would have wished is that everyone who takes up this book could know the author of it as we do. It would have added much to their enjoyment and understanding of his work. He is a tireless, even a daring hunter, without the hunter's limitations in daring most only for the things that are good to kill and to eat. The author, though he has what the scientist is pleased to call attainments, is in no sense a cabinet naturalist. His book is popular, which means that it is human. The actual anatomy of bird or beast appeals to him less than its habits, its activities, and, above all, its living rights, in Nature's wonderful scheme of things. The name of a thing - the point where scientific knowledge so often begins and ends - is of less importance to him than the thing it self. It is a book to read and keep for company's sake, in the same sense that a picture is so often aptly described as good to live with.

Excerpt from Through New Guinea and the Cannibal Countries In a paper read before the Royal Geographical Society I explained some of the great difficulties and dangers one has to overcome and pass through before such material work can be accomplished. But in this book I have written a fuller account of that journey, as well as that of a later cruise extending over a period of three years. The Appendix has been very kindly added by my friends, the Honourable Walter Rothschild, Dr. Hartert, and Dr. Jordan, of Tring, whom I have also to thank for so much other assistance rendered to me during my travels.
