Excerpt from Tonga and the Friendly Islands: With a Sketch of Their Mission, History, Written for Young People You have heard, I dare say, that those ancient nations who have left us such wonderful profs of their talents and skill in sculpture and painting, in building temples and tombs, and in making poetry and speeches, were not very clever at geography. They had curious notions of the shape of the earth. Some imagined that it was like a cylinder; others compared it to a drum; others again, thought that it was in the form of a ship; and some believed it to be a very high mountain, exceedingly wide at the base, with the stars floating about its summit. It was a puzzling question to many people whether Italy was in the form of a square or a triangle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
