Missions in Western Polynesia is a historical account of the Christian missions that were established in the Polynesian islands of Samoa, Tonga, and Fiji in the mid-19th century. The book is written by A.W. Murray, who was a missionary himself and had firsthand experience of the events that he describes. The book covers the period from 1839, when the first missionaries arrived in Samoa, to 1863, when the book was published. Murray provides a detailed account of the challenges faced by the missionaries in establishing and maintaining their missions in these remote and often hostile islands. He also describes the impact that the missions had on the local culture and the conversion of many Polynesians to Christianity. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the early days of Western influence in Polynesia and the role that Christian missionaries played in the region's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
