Excerpt: ... and the coast towards Asia; this remarkable testimony being confirmed by the fact which I have already mentioned, that along the royal highway of fifteen hundred miles which the Incas of Peru had formed between the royal cities of Cuzco and Quito, they had erected store houses for provisions at every ten or twelve miles, which they designated by the Polynesian name for such buildings Taboo, or (Tambo, as the Spaniards pronounced the word) meaning that these buildings were consecrated for a particular purpose by the sanctions of religion. On one of my voyages to England, I happened to meet in London with a highly intelligent gentleman who had just then returned from British Guiana and the Demerara River, where lie had been residing for a series of years. Desirous as I was at the time of ascertaining how far north the influence of the Polynesian character of the South American dialects might be felt, I requested the gentleman I allude to to give me a few specimens of words of the language of the Indo-Americans in the interior of that colony, as also a few names of places and objects on the Demerara River. The following, therefore, is a specimen of the language of the Warows, an IndoAmerican tribe of British Guiana, which I am confident the intelligent reader will admit bears a striking resemblance to the language of Polynesia. Like that language, the language of the Indians of Guiana is essentially vocalic; that is, it abounds in vowel sounds, while every word terminates with a vowel. The same guttural aspirarations, indicating the suppression of consonantal sounds, appear to prevail, as in the dialect of Tahiti; the same nasal sound occurs as in that of New Zealand; and in the formation of compound words, or the embodying of...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin and Migrations of the Polynesian Nation: Demonstrating Their Original Discovery and Progressive Settlement of the Continent of America MY attention happened to be strongly directed to the investigations which the subject of this volume implies, shortly after my arrival in New South Wales for the first time, upwards of fifty years ago, and I pursued them from time to time, as I had opportunity, both in the colony and more especially on my repeated voyages across the Southern Pacific Ocean, from Sydney to London, by Cape Horn. My enquiries were directed chiefly to ascertain the manner in which the islands of the South Seas had been origi nally peopled, and whether there was any affinity between the languages and the institutions and customs of their singular inhabitants and those 0 any other known division Of the family of man.

The body had been unwrapped from its easements, and the mere skeletona1l that remained--was exposed on the ground. Ever and anon unearthly howlings were uttered by both men and women, the latter cutting their faces with mussel shells till the blood flowed copiously down their cheeks. 4. I have already mentioned the horrible practice of the Polynesians of the olden time in Tahiti--that of Tiputa Taatct, as they called it, or parading in triumph over a fallen enemy, with his body converted into a poncho for the victor. This is one of the last points of identification that one could have expected to realise among the IndoAmericans. And yet we do find it, as is evident from the following extract from Dr. Robertson's History of America. Speaking of warfare in Mexico, Dr. Robertson remarks: -" No captive was ever ransomed or spared. All were sacrificed without mercy, and their flesh devoured with as much barbarous joy as among the fiercest savages. On some occasions it rose to even wilder excesses. Their principal warriors covered themselves with the skins of the unhappy victims, and danced about the streets, boasting of their own valour, and exulting over their enemies.1'" 5.
