Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fiji of to-Day The Fiji of Yesterday is rapidly becoming history. Its dark deeds are gradually being forgotten. That horrible stain of human blood is gone from the earth, and the grass is green again - nay; greener. In the Fiji of To-day new conditions of life have arisen, and these have given birth to new problems and difficulties. Their immediacy and seriousness are the chief reasons for the appearance of this book. Around two great facts the main problems of the book gather. The first is that Me Fijian is dying. No juggling with figures can deceive us in this particular, for at the rate of fifteen hundred per annum does this mortal decrease continue. When a serious epidemic touches the islands, old Charon's barque is laden to the very brim. In 1875 the measles carried off a quarter of the population Fifty years ago there were inhabitants: to-day, there are The naked truth, therefore, faces us that, unless we find some method of arresting 'this decrease, in a few score years the Fijian Church, of which Christendom has been so proud, will be blotted out.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Years in Fiji The greater portion of this little work was written during a voyage from London to New Zealand. The Author's object has been to give the reader an idea - faint and imperfect, perhaps, but.as far as it goes truthful - of the kind of life an Englishman may expect to lead who makes Fiji his home. The work professes to be written mainly from the point of View of a planter, and lays no claim either to original re search or scientific accuracy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From Old Fiji What the Tongans say about Napoleon is of no great value, except as showing how quickly and easily a myth may establish itself. If Vave of Kolonga had got hold of his story in the heathen days from one of the old beach-coamers, and if the schoolmaster had not come to the islands, by the time when he had become a grand father the myth would have grown into a true saying handed down from the ancestors. I cannot bring this short preface to a close without acknowledging the debt of gratitude that I owe in the first place to Mr. W. W. Skeat, who has taken great pains in editing my rough mss. And preparing the Appendix and Index. His kindness has laid me under a great obligation to him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Princess of Fiji When I look back over fifty years to wild scenes amid wild folk in s distant quarter of the globe, and recall to mind that I shared in all this wildness, that my companions were fierce savages, that my very existence depended on the mercy of men to whom mercy was but a transient emotion, that the club always hung above my head and there was no lack of brawny arms to swing it, that the oven was always hot to receive me and there was no lack of shining teeth to eat, then I am filled with a diversity of thought and I scarcely know what to think of it all. Fifty years ago I was just coming into manhood and enjoying the new strength and freedom of life, everything was still before me, and reckless of the future I heaped day on day, with never a recollection of the past, for at one-and-twenty one has no reminiscences.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fiji: Its Problems and Resources If these mountains are the glory, they are also the salvation of Fiji. They cool the air and keep it in constant motion. They bring down the rain from the passing clouds and moisture-laden air, and cause the cloudy sky that shades the country from the blazing sun. They send down into the valleys and the coastal towns and settlements the cooled and heavier air that makes the land breezes. They cool with their rain and fan with their breezes, limiting the temperature to a degree that can be borne by suffering humanity.
