A Visit To The South Seas
By C.S. Stewart
Published by Praeger Publishers: New York 1970
Facsimile Reprint of Original Edition

" A Visit to the South Seas by C. S. Stewart is a vivid nineteenth-century travel narrative drawn from the author's experiences as chaplain aboard the U.S. ship Vincennes during its historic circumnavigation of 1829-1830. Stewart offers first-hand observations of the Pacific world at a pivotal moment, recording encounters in Polynesia alongside visits to Brazil, Peru, Manila, the Cape of Good Hope, and St Helena. His account blends maritime history, missionary perspective, and cultural description, capturing early American naval presence and Western engagement in the Pacific with immediacy and narrative clarity.

This 1970 Praeger Publishers edition is a facsimile reprint of the original nineteenth-century work, faithfully reproducing the text for modern readers while preserving its historical character. Long valued as a source for early Pacific exploration and cross-cultural contact, the book remains an important document of American naval and missionary history in the South Seas. It would particularly appeal to collectors of Pacific exploration, early travel literature, and readers interested in nineteenth-century maritime and colonial encounters."
