Synopsis

Excerpt from The Melanesian Languages

Great, however, as are the advantages of Norfolk Island for gaining knowledge of the Melanesian languages, the want of books and of communication with scholars is much felt in so remote and isolated a place; and I hope in consideration of such difficulties that some indulgence will be allowed to the many defects of which I am sensible. Since my return to England I owe much to the kindness and learning of my friend the Rev. A. L. Mayhew, of Wadham College, who has saved me from many errors and helped me in many difficulties.
