After visiting the island and engaging in a skirmish with the natives in 1774, Cooke declared that "no one would ever venture to introduce Christianity.because neither fame nor profit would offer the requisite inducement." But missionaries did come, many of whom were subsequently murdered by the islanders. Undaunted, Paton arrived in 1858, where twenty years earlier, the first missionaries to the island, John Williams and James Harris, were clubbed to death immediately upon disembarking their vessels".

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with spike hole to one corner. Folded once. From the context the recipient is clearly James S. Cotton, editor of the Academy. He explains that 'Mr S. Reinach' (the French archaeologist Salomon Reinach, 1858-1932) recently wrote to him to say t…hat he would send him 'a copy of his book Chroniques d'Orient if I would review it. I said I would with pleasure review it somewhere. Yesterday the book reached me addressed to me (probably owing to some mistake of the publishers) as "redacteur de l'Academy"'. If the editor has not received another copy Paton will either forward the copy he has received, 'or, if you will permit me, retain it and write a notice of the book for the Academy.'.
