 SOME ACCOUNT

OF

THE BAY OF ISLANDS,

AND SURROUNDING COUNTRY;

THE RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT,

LANGUAGE, ARTS, MANUFACTURES, MANNERS, AND CUSTOMS OF THE NATIVES, &c. &c.

BY JOHN SAVAGE, ESQ. ,

“ Remote in Southern Seas an Island lies, ”

“ of ample Space, and bless'd with genial Skies ”

" Where shelter'd still by never-fading groves, ”

“ The friendly Native dwells, and fearless roves ”

“ Where the tall Forest, and the Plains around, ”

“ And Waters wide, with various Wealth abound, ”
