Excerpt from Origin and Migrations of the Polynesian Nation: Demonstrating Their Original Discovery and Progressive Settlement of the Continent of America

MY attention happened to be strongly directed to the investigations which the subject of this volume implies, shortly after my arrival in New South Wales for the first time, upwards of fifty years ago, and I pursued them from time to time, as I had opportunity, both in the colony and more especially on my repeated voyages across the Southern Pacific Ocean, from Sydney to London, by Cape Horn. My enquiries were directed chiefly to ascertain the manner in which the islands of the South Seas had been origi nally peopled, and whether there was any affinity between the languages and the institutions and customs of their singular inhabitants and those 0 any other known division Of the family of man.
