1842WRCAM40245AHonolulu: Mea paipalapala a na Misionari 1842. 418pp. plus eight woodcut plates including frontispiece. 12mo. Contemporary Hawaiian sheep boards and backstrip tooled with triangular and diamond- shaped pattern; rebacked original spine neatly laid down. Very clean and fresh internally. Very good. A significant association copy of the rare first edition in Hawaiian of Bunyan's PILGRIM'S PROGRESS and the first printing in Hawaiian of an English literary classic. This copy bears a presentation inscription on the front free endpaper to the Rev. E.S. Hopkins from the Rev. Elias Bond dated at Kohala Sandwich Islands June 12 1844. Reverend Bond translated at least seven books for the Mission Press between 1859 and 1868. <br> <br> The Hawaiian title translates as THE TRAVELER FROM THIS WORLD TO THAT WHICH IS TO COME. In 1840 the American Tract Society in Honolulu hoped to publish an abridged edition of Bunyan if a translator could be found and in 1841 Artemas Bishop took on the task promising the Society that "it will prove one of the most popular works in the Hawaiian Language." Unfortunately for Artemas and the Society the book flopped and the 10000 copies that were printed were remaindered in unbound sheets most of which were disposed of to Chinese vegetable peddlers for wrapping produce. For copies that survived this the rate of attrition as with all early Hawaiian works of this type remained very high and the book is quite scarce today. The work failed to impact the Hawaiians as the English allusions lost all meaning when translated. The names of the extensive cast of characters became incomprehensible: Mr. Lechery became Kekowale literally lust only and Mrs. Filth became Pelapela decayed flesh. <br> <br> Some of the surviving unbound sheets of this book were bound into limp suede in 1910. This copy on the other hand is in a contemporary Hawaiian sheep binding of the mid-19th century complete with its distinctive triangular and diamond-shaped tooling which is most unusual and notably rare. See David Forbes' BUNIANA San Francisco 1984 for an extensive discussion of the book. An important association copy in a handsome contemporary binding. FORBES 1351. JUDD 237. DAB IX p.381.

184736493Honolulu: Charles Edwin Hitchcock 1847. 24 consecutive issues bound together 4to. Volume V Numbers 1-24. 192pp. Woodcut illustrations. Expertly bound to style in half calf and period marbled paper covered boards<br/> <br/> A full year's run of a noted Hawaiian newspaper.<br/> <br/> Beginning publication in January 1843 under the title Temperance Advocate the newspaper began under the present title The Friend with the January 1845 issue continuing publication into the 20th century. "The expressed intent of the proprietor Rev. Samuel Chenery Damon Seaman's Chaplain for Honolulu was to produce a 'Temperance paper' for the benefit of seamen and the subjects found on its pages particularly during the first decade reflected Damon's work in this vein among sailors and crews of whale ships . Damon however also made an effort to include general information and news of interest to those in the Pacific and in New England. Extensive coverage was given to the whaling industry. Shipping lists were reproduced. 'Marine Intelligence' columns gave detailed reportage on whale ships throughout the Pacific. Considerable effort was made to fill other columns with arrival and departure lists of vessels and their passengers . Occasionally editor Damon included notes on his visits to Kauai Maui and Hawaii" Forbes. Of particular note in these early issues is a register of foreign residents in Honolulu January 15 1847. Advertisements include notices of publications in Hawaii. Illustrations include a street map of Honolulu with 35 numbered references January 15 1847. Consecutive runs of issues from the newspaper's first decade are very rare.<br/> <br/> Forbes 1388. Charles Edwin Hitchcock unknown
