Translation from the German of Richard Parkinson's scarce work on the Bismarck Archipelago first published in 1907. This recently discovered typescript by translator and Rabaul resident Noel C. Barry is based on the second edition published in 1926. Barry began work on his translation in the 1920s after returning from service in WWI and completed it in the 1940s before War again intervened. The scholarly edition by John Dennison and J. Peter White of Parkinson's original work published in 1997 and online in 2010 by Sydney University made note of Barry's work observing "For many people this Barry translation became the sole avenue into Parkinson’s book."
