George Brown, D.D. : pioneer-missionary and explorer : an autobiography : a narrative of forty-eight years' residence and travel in Samoa, New Britain, New Ireland, New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands.
Description: "I have written this account of my life very unwillingly, in deference to the oft-repeated wishes of my many friends and of the Conference to which I belong. I have endeavoured, however, to make it in some measure a history of the principal events in the Mission Districts with which I have been more immediately connected. My difficulty has been to condense the account into reasonable limits, and in doing so I have had to omit some details which might not interest the general reader, as well as particulars of the manners and customs, folklore, and other matters of interest to students of anthropology and ethnology. These, however, I hope to be able to give in a separate volume in the not distant future."--Preface.
