To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
representatiyes, and a jury of theur own countrymen, and not the mere arbitrary pleasure of the sovereign, now govern the people. ''This code of laws is printed and drcolsted among them, understood by all, and acknowledged by all, as the supreme rule of action for all classes in the civil and social relations." To the practical working of these enactments, the highest testimony is borne by an impartial witness — Cqitain Beechy, a navsl officer who visited the island in 1826, and was there sever...sl months. "Hie limit" he says, "imposed on the monarch, and the security afforded to the liberties and properties of the people, reflect credit upcm the missionsries, who were very instrumental in introducing these laws." A single incident will serve to show the measure of influence Christianity has had in eflectmg this beneficial chsnge. The representatives of Tahiti having assem- bled, "sent a message to the queen to know upon what principles they were to proceed. She sent back a copy of the New Testament, saying, 'Let the principles of this book be the foundation of all your proceedings.'" Christianity was supreme in the estimation of the sovereign.
