An Overland Journey Round the World: During the Years 1841 and 1842Lea and Blanchard, 1847 - 273 strani In this commentary, Simpson observations include much commentary on the degree of "civilization" among various peoples and the results thereof--often not positive, especially with regards to the impact of missionaries on local culture and morality.
