Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Grammar and Vocabulary of Language Spoken by Motu Tribe, New Guinea
My knowledge of the language has been acquired during seven years residence among the people who speak it. My colleague, Mr. Chalmers, has contributed largely both to grammar and vocabulary, but must not be held responsible for anything I have published, as there has been no opportunity of submitting the work to him for revision before going to press.
