Journal Of A Deputation From The Wesleyan Conference To Australia And Polynesia

The journal offers a vivid account of Robert Young's 1855 expedition with the Wesleyan Conference to Australia and Polynesia, detailing his interactions with local communities and various missions. Young's observations extend to the gold fields, where he assesses miners' conditions and the gold rush's economic effects. The narrative captures the cultural and religious dynamics of indigenous populations and the influence of Christianity during a transformative period. This engaging historical record is essential for readers interested in 19th-century social, economic, and religious contexts.
