Excerpt from James Calvert of Fiji
The chief events of his Missionary History had been already told in the published story of the regeneration of Fiji, wherein, indeed, the chronicle of his life is largely given. It has caused me some little embarrassment that the account of the Fiji Mission was, thirty-five years ago, either written or put into form by my own hand. Thus, in re-telling portions of it here, I have been sometimes obliged to quote or to paraphrase my own words.
