This perhaps should rather be called a prefatory note, since all the introduction to my book that I deem necessary is to say that in it I have endeavoured to sketch1 a community for whom I have the highest admiration2, the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty3, who I maintain are a standing4 proof of the miraculous5 power of the Gospel in the regeneration of mankind when unhindered by sacerdotal interference. And in order to make the subject as full as possible, I have taken one typical islander, the Bounty Boy, out of his surroundings into the world, and told his adventures therein with a view of showing how the Christian6 who is one indeed may fare.
