520 _a"John G. Paton, missionary to the New Hebrides, volume 2 (of 3): An Autobiography" is a historical autobiography written in the late 19th century. This work, edited by Paton's brother, delves into the missionary's experiences, challenges, and endeavors while serving among the indigenous peoples of the New Hebrides (now Vanuatu) and during his travels and advocacy in Australia and beyond. The central focus is on Paton's personal narrative, recounting his efforts to promote Christianity and garner support for missionary work, especially through the construction of a mission ship and recruitment of new missionaries. The opening of this autobiography features commendations, introductory notes, and a detailed table of contents before beginning Paton's own account. Paton reflects on the success of the first volume, explains the circumstances in which he wrote this second volume, and immediately immerses the reader in his missionary work after his rescue from Tanna. The narrative follows his difficult voyage to Sydney, his firsthand encounters with exploitation of indigenous labor, and subsequent fundraising travels throughout Australia to support the mission—highlighting vivid episodes of hardship, hospitality, and perseverance. The chapters also preview encounters with Australian Aborigines, emphasizing Paton’s attempts at compassion, advocacy, and cultural understanding amid the harsh realities faced by indigenous peoples.
