Samoa 'uma : where life is different

Description: "I have by no means intended to include all Samoa other than to present characteristic views of the real way of life of the islanders themselves and of the small colony of white people set down among a savage, though Christianized, community. My opportunities were ample to become familiar with the stream of native and foreign life as it passed through the current of my daily life on the domestic side of the American Consulate at Apia. My intention has been to draw upon that familiarity in presenting a picture of the realities of life in this remote South Sea archipelago."--Preface.

Voyage pittoresque autour du monde : resume general des voyages de decouvertes de Magellan, Tasman, Dampier, Anson ...

Description: "ideal" voyage around the world, with the details of places on the voyage drawn from virtually all the major explorers, from Magellan to Laplace and including Guillaume Bligh. Although the publication uses the very commercial name of the voyaging hero Dumont d'Urville, it is in fact a classic piece of nineteenth-century ghost writing of the kind that might nowadays include an "as told to" author credit. The remarkable series of illustrations is a visual feast of world voyages, and particularly of the Pacific: all the images are sourced from original voyage illustrations, chiefly from the grands voyages, many of them by De Sainson, Dumont d'Urville's artist on the Astrolabe voyage. -- Hordern House
