About This Book

A missionary deputation records a year of travel and observation across central regions of the island, documenting a recent religious upheaval in which traditional idols were publicly destroyed and large-scale conversions led to rapid chapel building and expansion of native churches. The authors describe meetings with the monarch and local authorities, consultations with various missionary societies, detailed ecclesiastical life, and pressing social issues such as trade and rum. They also report new geographical surveys, mapping volcanic fields, lakes, and provincial routes, and assess the challenges and prospects for continued missionary and educational work among diverse provincial communities.
