Polynesian Researches during a Residence of Nearly Six Years in the South Sea Islands - Cambridge Library Collection - History of Oceania

While in the Society Islands, British missionary William Ellis (1794–1872) keenly observed indigenous Polynesian life and customs that were already shifting under Western influences. Published in 1829, this two-volume collection records his admiration of an inventive and complex culture, alongside his horror at its polytheistic rituals.
