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.

Excerpt from Among the Cannibals of New Guinea: Being the Story of the New Guinea Mission of the London Missionary Society The following pages have been written for the directors of the London Missionary Society, as the first of a series of manuals giving an account of the different missions connected with the Society, which they are intending to publish. Before their wish to issue such a manual was made known to me, my dear friend Mr. Abraham Haworth, of Manchester, and others, had been seriously urging me to write the story of the New Guinea Mission, being the only one (as they said) who could, from experience, relate the interesting story of those first years of pioneer work, when we had to form the acquaintance and acquire the language of the savage tribes, and establish the mission, not only in perils in the sea, and in perils by the hea then, but amidst the sickness, suffering, and death of the mem bers of the mission.

Excerpt from A Naturalist in Cannibal Land New Guinea is evidently the remnant of a continent which has sunk beneath the sea for the greater part, only the higher elevations granting a refuge to the fauna and flora. When the land rose again to some extent, the newly-formed islands and the coast districts of the main island became populated by an invasion from the west, this new Malayan element in the fauna being, on New Guinea, most prominent in the lowlands and foothills, and extending far south in tropical Australia, whereas the original Papuan element is more evident at the higher altitudes than at the lower.

Netherlands; the Germans possess some square miles of it on the north-east; and the remainder, the south-east portion, amounting to nearly square miles, is British territory. The colony now called British New Guinea was formally annexed to the Queen's dominions by the first administrator on September 4, 1888. This deliberate act of her Majesty's government was the Official consummation Of the efforts and wishes Of many Officers and subjects Of the empire, who had seen clearly that it was desirable and necessary that at least part of that country should be added to the realm.

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. 1889 edition. Excerpt: ...many of their class in the South Seas and New Guinea, made a stout resistance to the progress of European civilization. Cannibalism is frequently referred to by classical and early Christian writers. Perhaps some of my friends and fellow countrymen are not aware that St. Jerome gives his personal testimony to the practice in a way not very flattering to our ancestors. He states " that when he was a boy living in Gaul he beheld the Scots--a people of Britain--eating human flesh; and though there were plenty of cattle and sheep at their disposal, yet they would prefer a ham of the herdsman or a piece of female breast as a luxury"! Statements of old authors still more absurd induced some thinkers to believe that cannibalism is unnatural, and to deny that it was ever practised by human beings except under the pressure of starvation. The accurate observation of late travellers has however put it beyond doubt that cannibalism has been and is systematically practised, and practised by those who are by no means the most degraded of the human race. The aborigines of Australia, for instance, who are generally considered an extremely degraded type, feed on herbs, snakes, worms; whilst the aborigines of New Zealand, who are admitted to be the most highly developed race with which European civilization has had to compete, were, until recently, systematic feeders on human flesh. It has been supposed that the reason why, among the Jews and several eastern nations, the eating of swine's flesh was forbidden as an unclean food was its resemblance to human flesh, and the danger that persons accustomed to the one might not retain their abhorrence of the other. The question is how the abominable practice arose. Some say from superstition; others, from hunger;...
