520			_a"Ethnographic observations and experiences on the Tongan islands up to 1810 -- just prior to intensive Christian missionary activities -- provide an early historic baseline of culture for those interested in later culture change in Tonga, the only Polynesian island group that has never been ruled by outsiders. Ferdon ... [provides an] account of major aspects of Tongan life -- material culture, government, food and drink, recreation, customs, trade, and warfare -- at the time when European influences were only beginning to modify traditional island patterns"--Dust cover.
