The sixth edition of Murray’s popular and influential book on the Mutiny on the Bounty and the settlement of Pitcairn in its aftermath contains a record of births, deaths and marriages on the island and a table of all ships which called there, from the arrival of the Topaz in 1808. A preface dated August 1856 brings events completely up-to-date, with an account of the proposed abandonment of Pitcairn in favour of Norfolk Island (which had in fact taken place in May-June that year). The Pitcairners began to return just eighteen months later.
