As a young man, however, Ellis overcame the poverty of a relatively modest background, as a Norfolk gardener and candlewick maker, to read and dream about Cook's voyages and Keate's "fascinating but to a great extent ficticious" (J. Emieo Ellis, p. xvii) account of shipwreck of the "Antelope" upon the Pelew Islands. His youthful travels on this first voyage, then, revealed keen descriptive powers of his own. This non-fiction title, first appearing in 1829, and later expanded into a popular 4-volume edition reprinted by various publishers through the mid 1850's, was an influential descriptive resource later used as background by a number of nineteenth century "South Sea" novelists, said to include Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson, Joseph Conrad and Jack London. His ethnological observations of Tahiti, where he was stationed from 1817-1822, recount relations with the first (converted) King of the Tahitans, Pomares II, governmental and social customs, developing laws, and Pomare's embrace of literacy. Ellis returned to England in 1825; he spent another fruitful period in Madagascar during the 1850's which he also wrote about. Various other topics include: slave economy of Brazil under the Spanish and English mercantile activity; misadventures of travel amidst convicts on way to New Zealand; perils of early missions among the Polynesians; details of the succession of Pomare's son in 1822.

On the second page: 'The arrangement of this Programme has been the work of the Rev. Hugh Ross Williamson.' Programme for the day on front cover, including a talk by 'Mr Robert Speight: "Touring in Canada with Murder in the Cathedral"'. The final event, at 7pm in the Chapter House, is a performance entitled 'The Drama of our Festival years', and the text of this piece makes up 21pp of the pamphlet. This begins with these words, recited by the Archbishop of Canterbury [Geoffrey Fisher (1887-1972)]: 'The Drama of our Festival years. First, that we may remember the makers who have made these plays for us, the latest of them, Robert Gittings, will recite the tribute he has composed to those who went before him the other writers of the Canterbury Plays.' This is followed by a poetic prologue by Gittings, titled 'The Word', the twelve-lines stanzas of which are titled in the margins: Laurence Binyon, T. S. Eliot, Charles Williams, Dorothy L. Sayers, Christopher Hassall, Laurie Lee, Christopher Fry, 'The bringers of gifts in their kind', 'The betrayers of the word in modern life', 'The witness of the Word at Canterbury'. There follow long extracts from Canterbury Plays by Binyon, Eliot, Fry, Gittings, Hassall and Dorothy L. Sayers, with a final page carrying the text of a poem by John Masefield, beneath the text: 'All present are asked to join in singing the following hymn by the Poet Laureate to music written by the late Gustav Holst.'
