About This Book

This work recounts the author's experiences as a resident magistrate in New Guinea, detailing his observations and interactions with the local population, colonial officials, and the challenges of governance in a remote territory. It provides insights into the daily life and customs of the indigenous people, as well as the complexities of colonial administration during a time of significant change. The narrative reflects on the author's personal journey, the historical context of New Guinea, and the various characters he encountered, offering a unique perspective on the colonial experience in the Pacific region.

Transcriber’s Notes

The cover, if present, was created by Transcriber, using a photograph from the original book, and placed in the Public Domain.

The Table of Contents was added by Transcriber and placed in the Public Domain.

Punctuation and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were corrected.

Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained; occurrences of inconsistent hyphenation have not been changed.

Zooming in or magnifying the maps, particularly the three detailed segments, will make some of the small words more readable.

The Index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references, but references to pages v and vi actually are to page viii.

This book also was published under the title “Taming New Guinea: Some Experiences of a New Guinea Resident Magistrate.” The two editions appear to be identical except for the Title page.
