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.

Published by and for the missionaries it is invaluable as a source of information concerning the activities experiences and accomplishments of the 19th-century Congregational missionaries to Hawaii as well as 20th-century figures and the development of the United Church of Christ in Hawaii. Today The Friend is the newsletter of the Hawaii Conference of the United Church of Christ.Thomas Spencer 1815-1884 was a whaling captain out of Warwick Rhode Island.

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.
