A Hundred Years In Fiji
p. 60 · Read in the full issue
IN the compass of 140 pages, Rev. J. W.
Burton, M.A. (Secretary of the Metho dist Mission), and Rev. Wallace Deane, M.A., 8.D., have produced in A Hundred Tears in Fiji a compendium of Fijian his tory.
The book gives an interesting account of the emergence from the ancient Fiji of savagery and cannibalism to the new Fiji of civilised life and peaceful progress. Full of character and incident, the story por trays graphically the outstanding mission aries who pioneered Fiji; and the chiefs who were most troublesome and who later became the Church’s staunchest allies.
The two competent writers who have collaborated in this little book know their Fiji from residence in the Group as mis sionaries. Priced at 4/-, One Hundred Years in Fiji, which is copiously illus lustrated, has been published by the Epworth Press, London.
Mr. C. I. H. Campbell, of Raua Plan tation, Kieta District, New Guinea, arrived in Australia by the Malaita early in December.
