| Meer info | “The long preliminary discourse was anonymously written by Samuel Greatheed, using the then-unpublished narrative of James Morrison, one of the pardoned Bounty mutineers. Morrison’s manuscript was also the source for the extensive appendix on Tahiti.” "The 'Duff' was the first missionary vessel to sail the little-known waters of the Pacific Ocean. After 208 days the vessel reached Tahiti, landing 17 missionaries there, a further twelve at Tonga, and one to the Marquesas. Trouble with the natives arose. Three of the missionaries on Tonga were killed. Others were compelled to seek refuge at Sydney. Several of the missionaries settled in Australia and founded families important in Australian history." This copy belonged to one of the subscribers. |
