524. PRITCHARD, George [edited by Paul de Deckker].
THE AGGRESSIONS OF THE FRENCH at Tahiti and other Islands in the Pacific.
Auckland University Press, Oxford University Press, in association with The Alexander Turnbull Library Endowment Trust. Auckland, New Zealand. 1983. First Edition; 253; b/w illustrations and reproductions of documents. hardcover in pictorial dust jacket [protected]; mint condition [new]. George Pritchard (1796-1883) was a London Missionary Society worker in Tahiti who, on his own urging, was appointed British consul in 1837. As such he attempted unsuccessfully to combat the growing French presence in the island group, which to that time, despite growing European influence, had remained nominally independent. In 1844 French sovereignty was proclaimed over the group, and Pritchard was imprisoned and then expelled. On the ship back to England he wrote a strongly partisan account of the `aggressions of the French' obviously with the intention of publishing. He never did, however. This manuscript which is now in the Alexander Turnbull Library, is here published for the first time.		 $70.

AN AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGIST IN MELANESIA : A.B. Lewis and the Joseph N. Field South Pacific Expedition, 1909 - 1913.

Anthropogogist Albert Buell Lewis spent four arduous years traveling through the (now) former colonies of Melanesia as an ethnologicial researcher for Chicago's Field Museum. The field diaries that he maintained during this period reveal the fascinating story of how Lewis overcame extraordinary difficulties to assemble the remarkable collection of artifacts now preserved in the museum. In an American Anthropologist in Melanesia, Robert Welsch has beautifully contextualised the diaries through a descriptive, interwoven commentary, extensive annotations, and a wealth of visual materials. The two volumes offer readers a firsthand account of conditions in Meanesia before the First World War, a rare glimpse into a little-known chapter in the history of anthropology, and an inside look of how the world's great natural history and ethnological museums built their collections. An American Anthropogist in Melanesia is an invitation to scholars and Melanesian peoples to make use of this long-neglected resource for the fields of anthropology, art history, and Pacific history. Its importance for studies of material culture, technology, art, culture change, and the impact of Europeans on traditional life is immeasurable.		 $220.
