Arthur R. Borden's translation of J.A. Moerenhout's Travels to the Islands of the Pacific Ocean has been made from the 1942 reprint of the original 1837 French edition. It is an important anthropological document; Moerenhout was both an excellent reporter and a good artist. Borden's translation ensures textual accuracy while he also applies idiomatic English prose in order to render it a more accessible work.
