Excerpt from Viti: An Account of a Government Mission to the Vitian or Fijian Islands in the Years 1860-61
Grace the Duke of Newcastle, ever ready to advance science, fully sharing these hopes, made an application to the Treasury to that effect, but was very sorry to inform me that his application had been unsuccessful. Thinking what had been collected with so much ex pense, under great difficulties, and in a country only partially reclaimed from cannibalism, was also worth making known, I resolved to incur the risk Of publish ing the work at my own cost. It will consist Of 400 pages of letter-press (quarto), and 100 coloured plates, all representing Objects hitherto unknown to science, and drawn by the skilful pencil of Mr. Fitch. The work will take about three years to bring out, and its publication will commence immediately.
