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." <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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.

The plate was made in New York from the best photographs we could procure in Honolulu. The original of Kamehameha 1st was executed in 1817 by a Russian artist who accompanied Kotzebue in his voyage and may be seen by referring to the third volume of his voyage. The original of Kamehameha 2d was executed in England in 1824 in the style of the dress of George 4th's reign. We think those of Kamehameha 3d 4th and 5th are very good but not quite so good those of Lunalilo or His Majesty Kalakaua" p. 12. cf. Forbes 1726 unknown

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

The Hawaiian Missionary Society aimed to send missionaries from Hawaii to other Pacific islands. "The first annual report states that preparations were being made to send two missionaries Rev. Mr. Snow and Rev. Luther H. Gulick and their wives to Micronesia. A list of contributions made to the society shows the extraordinary generosity of native Hawaiian churches to this object . From this date the annual reports include excerpts from letters of the missionaries both in Micronesia and in the Marquesas. Twelve annual reports were published between 1852 and 1863 . The first three were printed at the American Mission Press; the fifth at the Polynesian office; and the remainder by the press of H.M. Whitney or the Pacific Commercial Press. This is an important source of information about missionary work by native Hawaiian missionaries in Micronesia the Marquesas and other parts of the Pacific" Forbes<br /> <br /> This group comprises the following:<br /> First Report.

18803796<p><b>Scarce Chart of Oahu: Pearl Harbor to Diamond Head</b></p><p>This is a wonderfully detailed chart of the Pearl Harbor/Honolulu area. It names Diamond Head Waikiki Honolulu with street grid shown and Pearl Lochs later Pearl Harbor and locates numerous landmarks: school windmill leper asylum prison and several areas with heavy surf and breakers. </p><p>The chart appears to be directly derived from a larger separately issued chart of the same title that covered a somewhat larger area Hydrographic Office Chart no. 867. The larger chart was first issued in 1880 and updated at least through 1901. While a very short segment of Oahu R.R. is shown just west of Honolulu on the present chart the much longer stretch of the railway that looped around the northern portion of Pearl Lochs is not shown here as it is on the 1899 edition of the larger map. Since the main portion of the Oahu Railway was completed in late 1889 it suggests that the present map was completed prior to that date. We have been unable to determine the exact publication source of the map. In any case the chart as well as its larger relative is very uncommon; neither version is represented on OCLC. <br /></p><p><b>Condition: </b>Original fold lines. Repair of 1 ½" tear at binding edge.
