Notes

  • Dedication: To Prebendary H. Codrington's 'Melanesian Anthropology and Folk-Lore' and to several other books written on the subject of Melanesian life, I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness for an insight into the manners and customs of the people which an ordinary layman could not hope to obtain. G. B. L.
  • Epigraph: I falter where I firmly trod/ And falling with my weight of cares/ Upon the great world's altar-stairs/ That slope through darkness up to God,/ I stretch lame hands of faith ... ('In Memoriam').
