Book excerpt: Excerpt from Round About the Torres Straits: A Record of Australian Church Missions I was asked to write this little book at very short notice, and to reply as to whether I would do so or not by cable. This explains the fact of my venturing to write about the New Guinea Mission, about which, unlike the other Missions here referred to, I had no personal knowledge save my acquaintance with, and respect for, many of the workers. Having thus no option but to perform all or none of the task assigned to me, with some misgivings I determined to do what I had been asked to the best of my ability. I had almost completed for publication a much larger work on Tropical Australia at the time that I was asked to write this book on Australian Missions, and to a limited extent the two subjects overlap. I have, however, rewritten most of the matter required specially for this book, and have deferred the publication of the larger work. In any case, the extent of the matter common to the two books is not very large. I have, with the kind permission of the authors, made use of Mrs. Benson's (Miss Synge's) "Life of the Rev. A. A. Maclaren," Bishop Newton's "In Far New Guinea," and the Bishop of North Queensland's account of his visit to New Guinea. I have also been greatly assisted by the Rev. A. K. Chignell's "An Outpost in Papua," but, owing to lack of time, I was unable to ask his permission to make use of it. I am sure he will forgive me for doing so in memory of our first meeting in the wilds. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
