1851réf. 76600New York: M. W. Dodd 1851. First edition. Octavo 71. 1 pp. plus one full page illustration of Kingsmill Group of Coral Island profiles and three smaller ones Publisher's printed beige wrappers spine abraded but holding strong two edge chips to front wrappers. A very clean and attractive copy.Luther Halsey Gulick b. 1828 grew up on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i but later graduated medical school in 1850 from New York University. He was ordained a minister in 1851 and soon set off for missionary work in Micronesia where he stayed until 1859. He returned to Hawaii in 1864 he served as head of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association. His wife Louisa founded a female school in her home called the Kawaiaha o Seminary for Girls which later became part of the Mid-Pacific Institute. Soon the establishment was viewing Gulick as a bit too liberal as among other things he advocated the retirement of older white missionaries to be replaced by native Hawaiians. He also protested the labor system of sugarcane plantations in Hawaii viewing them as no different than the slavery that existed in the States. Gulick became editor of the Hawaiian language newspaper Ka Hoku Loa and then Ka Nupepa K oko a "the independent newspaper" which gave him a platform for attacking what he considered detrimental to the Hawaiian people; Catholic leanings and a government program to make the English language exclusive in the schools among others. He was relieved of his office in 1869 and spent the remaining years of his life as a itinerant missionary in Asia. M. W. Dodd unknown
