1914252200v.p. Hawaii Los Angeles Kentucky et al. 1914. Vintage gelatin silver prints various sizes most captioned beneath the image. Blue Japanese sewn blue cloth wrappers side stitched with red thread some tearing to leaves damage to last few leaves of the second album but images generally fine and bright. Vintage gelatin silver prints various sizes most captioned beneath the image. "The first aviation meet in Honolulu". A pair of family photo albums the first focusing mostly on the young Betty Fisher and her family included Betty's Kindegarten Class at Norwood School Los Angeles; Betty at Grandfather's house in Louisville Ky; Waipio Falls on the Big Island of Hawaii; New Years Day at Waikiki; Kaikio Tank; Betty's First Kodak 1910. The second album shows vacation scenes in Cape Cod Harwichport; Boothbay Harbor Maine; Squirrel Island; Monhegan Island; Wicasset Maine; Montreal Quebec; Berkshires; Bretton Woods; Delaware Water Gap; Washington D.C. Most interesting is an 8 x 10 in photo in the first album of the first aviation meet in Hawaii showing "Bud Mars in a Curtis aero-plane" performing for an awestruck crowd in December of 1910. Hawaii was the first stop on a 30000 mile demonstration tour sponsored by the Curtis Aircraft Company the Wright Brothers' chief rival. Undoubtedly a unique image - we found no published images of this meet. The rest of the albums are interesting in their own right showing the life of a well-off Hawaiian family over the course of 10 years. unknown books

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. 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. 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.

Nine Months of a Hawaiian Missionary Newspaper With the First Report of King Kamehameha IIIÂ’s Death and PerryÂ’s Mission to Japan

185423745"The American Sloop-of-war SARATOGA Capt. Walker arrived at this port on the 29th ult. in 25 days from Japan which is the shortest passage ever made. The S. brings Capt. H.A. Adams U.S.N. as bearer of despatches to the Government at Washington. The point of interest in this intelligence is the fact that Com. Perry concluded a TREATY OF AMITY AND FRIENDSHIP with the EMPIRE OF JAPAN."The Friend was the mouthpiece of Congregational missionaries and reported everything from important local Hawaiian issues to international news reprinted from eastern sources. The nine months covered here feature a great deal of the news of the day ranging from war between England and Russia to lots of whaling and maritime news including shipping arrivals and departures the discovery of new sperm whaling grounds naval intelligence all peppered with a liberal dose of good old fashioned conservative proselytizing.This particular volume was sent from Sag Harbor New York to Thomas Spencer a Rhode Island sea captain who went native opening a successful ship's chandlery and marrying a local girl. HAWAII.Newspapers. Bound volume of The Friend Honolulu HI containing 22 consecutive issues dated from Feb 1 1854 through Oct 25 1855.

THE LAWS AND RESOLUTIONS PASSED AT THE ANNUAL COUNCIL OF THE HAWAIIAN NOBLES AND REPRESENTATIVES CONVENED ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION AT LAHAINA APRIL 1843

1843WRCAM55894Lahainaluna: Seminary Press 1843. 6pp. 12mo. Original printed self-wrappers. Tiny chip at top of spine tiny area of marginal loss to spine edge of first two leaves minor foxing. Very good. In a cloth chemise and green half morocco and cloth folding case spine gilt. An exceedingly rare early Hawaiian imprint. The work is a supplement to the English translation of KE KUMU KANAWAI A ME NA KANAWAI O KO HAWAII PAE AINA Forbes 1337. It contains ten laws and resolutions approved by Hawaiian King Kamehameha III and the premier Kekauluohi "at the council house at Luaehu Lahaina Maui Sandwich Islands." The laws and resolutions themselves deal with land leases taxes on land and pets the timing of the evening guns divorce whaling public auctions tonnage dues ship clearances the removal of duties on gold and silver exports and the payment of jurors. The laws had to be submitted for approval to the British commission that exercised temporary control over Hawaii between February and July 1843 and it is noted in the penultimate paragraph "All the foregoing laws.will take effect after being communicated to the British Commission and proclaimed at each of the principal islands." The resolution on "Respecting Divorced Persons" is especially interesting. This resolution allowed among other things all "divorced persons" not just men to remarry if their divorce was granted before the 1840 Constitution was adopted. The 1840 Hawaiian Constitution had placed certain restrictions on remarriage for both divorced men and women. For instance in cases of adultery the guilty party whether a man or a woman was forbidden to remarry while the former partner was alive. An absence of four years whether through criminal confinement or overseas service or some other reason was often grounds for divorce and remarriage for the party who remained in Hawaii. If a husband tried to kill his wife or vice versa the offending party was not allowed to remarry. The present resolution provided for all those who divorced before the 1840 Constitution to remarry no matter the reason for the divorce. The resolution regarding whaling ships is also notable. It allows whalers to barter or sell up to $200 worth of goods duty free "for the purpose of procuring refreshments." If a whaling ship barters or sells more than the $200 threshhold "they shall pay the customary duties." This is likely a reaction to laws or regulations set down in other Pacific ports during the golden age of the whaling industry when Hawaii was an important port of call for ships of all nations. "The edition is unknown. This is not recorded in reports of either the 1843 or 1844 General Meetings. Because of its small size it was doubtless part of the category 'small jobs ship lists government protests &c.' in the 1844 minutes" - Forbes. Forbes lists no references for the work and the location of only eight copies all in Hawaii. OCLC lists a digital record in twelve libraries which may contain some number of authentic copies and three additional copies in a separate record which appear to be the 1913 reprint by the Statute Law Book Company printed in an edition of fifty copies according to Forbes. An uncommon and elusive early Hawaiian legal work that touches upon women's issues and the whaling industry at the height of its prominence in the world economy. FORBES 1393.
