BY THB REV. WILLIAM WYATT GILL, BA., AUTHOR OF "MYTHS AND SONGS FEOM THE SOUTH PACIFIC. WELLINGTON GEORGE DIDSBURY, GOVERNMENT PRINTER. 1880. LIBRARY 731325 UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO — INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. The flattering reception accorded to a former^ volume has induced me to collect and publish a series of Historical Sketches with Illustrative Songs, which may not be without interest to students of ethnology and others. Some of them have already appeared in a serial publication. During a long residence on Mangaia, shut out to a great extent from the civilized world, I enjoyed great facilities for the study of the natives themselves and their traditions. I soon found that they had two sets of traditions — one referring to their gods, and to the supposed experiences of men after death; another relating veritable history. The natives themselves carefully distinguish the two. Thus, historical songs are called '^ pe^e ;^' the others, ^^ kapa,'^ &c. In the native mind the series now presented to the English public is a natural sequence to " Myths and Songs ;" the mythical, or, as they would say, the spiritual, necessarily taking precedence of the historical or human. In such researches we cannot be too careful to distinguish history from myth. But when we find hostile clans, in their epics, giving substantially the same account of the historical past, the most sceptical must yield to the force of evidence.
