Omtale
In November 1806, the Port-au-Prince arrived at the Friendly Islands. William Charles Mariner (1791–1853) was among the few crew members spared by the native inhabitants, and lived there for four years. This two-volume second edition of his observations, published in 1818, offers an important early insight into Tongan customs and language.
