William Ellis's Madagascar Revisited (1867) is a compelling historical account of Madagascar during a period of political upheaval and religious persecution. Ellis, a missionary, a member of the London Missionary Society (LMS) and ethnographer, documents the transition of power following the reign of Queen Ranavalona I, detailing the revolution that led to the ascension of Queen Rasoherina. The book provides firsthand insights into the persecution of Malagasy Christians, highlighting their resilience and suffering under oppressive rule. Ellis also explores the social and political changes in Madagascar, offering observations on the country's culture, governance, and future prospects. Richly illustrated with woodcuts from photographs, the work serves as both a historical record and a missionary narrative. 19 pages, 502 pages, folding map/plan of Antananarivo, frontispiece view & 12 other plates.
