Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The History of Melanesian Society, Vol. 1 of 2 At the present moment there exists in Melanesia an influence far more likely to produce disintegration of native institutions than the work of missionaries. I refer to the repatriation of Melanesian labourers from Queensland which has been the result of the movement for a white Australia. Large numbers of men, women and children have recently returned to nearly every Melanesian island. Some had been many years in Queensland and have quite forgotten all they ever knew of their native institutions; some even have that contempt for these institutions which so often accompanies a smattering Of civilisation. Their influence on native institutions in the future must almost certainly be great, but this influence is so comparatively recent that I do not believe it has had any appreciable effect on the social conditions which I record in this volume.

Excerpt from The History of Melanesian Society, Vol. 2 of 2 In entering upon the theoretical discussion of the material presented in the first volume of this book, it will be well to begin with a short consideration of the principles upon which the study and the mode of arrangement of the argument will be based. At the present moment there exists a very wide divergence between different schools of thought in their attitude towards ethnographical material. While some are almost exclusively interested in the evolution of custom and institution, others devote their energies as exclusively to the study of geographical distribution with the aim of discovering how the cultures now existing on the earth have been built up. As I have recorded elsewhere, my own standpoint altered very profoundly while I was writing the theoretical discussion contained in this volume. I began as a firm adherent of the current English school, being almost exclusively interested in the evolution of belief, custom and institution, paying little attention to the complexity of individual cultures, except where it was perfectly obvious that changes had been set up from without, as in the case of recent Polynesian influence in Melanesia. At a definite point in my argument I was led to see that Melanesian society is complex. I began my theoretical consideration with a comparative study of the systems of relationship which have been recorded in the first volume, and at first attended purely to their structure, neglecting the geographical distribution of the terms of relationship as linguistic facts. On the basis of this purely morphological study I was enabled to build up a scheme of the evolution of Melanesian social structure.
