Excerpt from The Western Pacific: Being a Description of the Groups of Islands to the North and East of the Australian Continent The attitude taken by the Australian Colonies with reference to the island-continent of New Guinea and the groups of islands in the Western Pacific, has taken England altogether by surprise. I venture also to think that the vast majority of English people find themselves entirely in the dark as regards the islands which it is proposed to annex. The present volume aims at giving some general idea of these islands from my own personal experience, and is mainly a reprint from a portion of a larger book of travel.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt: ... INTRODUCTION. FOR the last three hundred years the islands of the Western Pacific have attracted the attention of Europeans to a greater or less extent, but only twice during that period has the interest attached to this part of the world reached the point at which it now stands. The first of these occasions was doubtless when the intrepid Spanish navigators returned home after the discovery of the Solomon Islands, and the second when that extraordinary phenomenon, the South Sea Bubble, was exciting the imagination of all classes of the community. At the present moment the possibility of our becoming the sovereign power in the Western Pacific has once more directed people's attention to the South Seas, and I am therefore hopeful that the following chapters will supply something of a "want," as the prospectus of a new newspaper would have it. Of the island of New Guinea--which, indeed, might almost more reasonably be called a continent, considering its enormous size--I hesitate to speak more than slightly, for I have never been there; and were I to attempt to describe it within the same cover as my chapters on the Polynesian groups, I might rightly be accused of mere bookmaking. Having, however, passed the Torres Straits and sighted some of the outlying islands, and having heard so much, almost upon the spot, concerning that most interesting of the remaining unknown portions of the world, I may perhaps include New Guinea in such preliminarily descriptive remarks as I propose to make in this chapter. As geography is untaught in our public schools, or was in my own time only a few years ago, I may perhaps be allowed to ask my readers, before going any further into the details of a book on the Western Pacific, to glance at a chart of the...
