xiv, 308 pages. "Blackbirding was full of horrors, of brutalities, of tragedies as was the African slave-trade - and fuller of romance, of heroism, and of self-sacrifice. It was not on such a great scale as the negro slave-trade, nor did it last so long, yet the Queensland slave-trade, which almost depopulated whole islands in the New Hebrides and in the Solomons, was only part of the Pacific slave-trade which may be included under the general term of blackbirding." - from Preface. Author's surname pencilled atop front free endpaper, presumably not by him. Moderate foxing to edges and prelims. Spine slant. Binding intact. Average wear. A worthy reference copy of this important reference. Book
