192375889Boston: Published for the Board by Samuel T. Armstrong 1923. First edition. Octavo. viii Index 400 pp. Contemporary half brown roan over marbled boards gilt spine lettering and rules. Binding with rubbing but solid and text with usual toning. A very good and stout copy.On pp. 201 to 219 we find one ofd the very earliest accounts of the American Missionaries activities in Hawaii. "On March 30 1820 Hawaii would witness the dawn of Christianity and the most influential religious group in Hawaii. After 164 days of traveling through the United States and sailing through the Pacific Ocean in the Thaddeus fourteen missionaries seven mission couples would arrive in Hawaii landing at Kawaihae and Kailua-Kona Big Island. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions funded these missionaries who were Presbyterians Congregationalists and Dutch Reformists from New England. Before their arrival the kingdom was transforming: King Kamehameha I the monarch who united the Hawaiian islands died and Liholiho Kamehameha II and Queen Kaahumanu co-ruled Hawaii. After reigning for six months they ended the kapu system leaving behind a religious void.In Hawaii the missionaries converted Hawaiian people to the Christian faith developed the written form of Hawaiian discouraged many Hawaiian cultural practices introduced their Western practices and encouraged the spread of English. One of the most powerful converts Queen Kaahumanu embraced Christianity imposed it to the rest of the kingdom and banned Hawaiian religious practices. The missionaries' impact would continue through their descendents who would become the political business and cultural elites of Hawaii and act as a driving force towards Hawaii's Westernization."

Clifford was an artist and missionary who traveled to Hawaii in the 1860s to visit the leprosy settlement at Kalaupapa. He met Father Damien while he was there. There was much fear in England that leprosy would spread there. Father Damien born Jozef De Veuster was a Catholic priest from Belgium. He spent his career spreading Catholicism to the Leprosy patients who were quarantined on the island of Moloka'i. He eventually contracted the disease himself and died.
