“Story of Pitcairn Island.”—By Rosalind Amelia Young, a native daughter. Pitcairn Island, one of the volcanic gems of the Pacific, has been heard of wherever the English language has been spoken. The story of the working out of the problem of human life on its limited territory reads stranger and more thrilling in many respects than a romance. But most, if not all, of the tales told and the books printed have been too fragmentary, or incorrect and misleading. It will be interesting to the friends of that miniature world to know that an authentic history has been written, and that by a native of the island, one to the manor born. Miss Rosa Young is one of the direct descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty. The book is a plain, unvarnished tale of Pitcairn and its inhabitants from its settlement to the year 1894. It is written with charming simplicity of style, which refreshes the reader and invites continued perusal. Illustrated with 26 engravings. Fourth edition, with appendix.
