1937rif. 4006Honolulu & Tokyo 1937. About very good. 27021pp. plus plates. Original green silk over boards gilt t.e.g. Spine faded corners bumped and rubbed. Contents clean. A very rare history of Japanese-language schools in Hawaii between 1911 and 1937. The work is written entirely in Japanese and illustrated with several plates depicting school children teachers and other officials. "Once the Issei had decided to settle in Hawaii they wanted their children to become good Americans of Japanese ancestry with a command of both the English and Japanese languages and cultures. In the mid-1910s they came to feel the impact of the Americanization movement and feared that Hawaii's Japanese language schools would be attacked. Thus in 1914 to cope with this pressure the Hawaii Kyoiku Kai Japanese Educational Association of Hawaii was organized by the school principals and teachers to unify over 130 schools. In 1917 the Kyoiku Kai published their own textbooks with content suitable to Hawaii born Nisei and decided to teach only the Japanese language and moral lessons eliminating Japanese patriotic lessons and adding new lessons to encourage Japanese to become loyal Americans who would nonetheless also cherish their Japanese heritage" -- Davidann.

1816rif. 68845New York: Printed by J. Seymour 1816. Inspiration for the First Mission to Hawaii A rare account of the lives of the five Hawaiian youths who would come to form a core of initial students enrolled at the new Foreign Mission School established at Cornwall Connecticut in 1816. The school formed under the auspices of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM would serve to educate foreign students in preparation for missionary work in their native lands and elsewhere. Published in 1816 A Narrative of Five Youth from the Sandwich Islands was the first of many publications intended to raise funds and stir up popular support for the new school as well as for the first Christian mission sent to the Hawaiian Islands three years later. As such it served as part of the early efforts to bring Hawaii within the cultural and commercial orbit of the United States. By the second decade of the 19th century Hawaii had become an integral part of America's burgeoning China trade serving not only as a crucial resupply hub and convenient stopover for Yankee ships sailing between North America and China and around Cape Horn but also as a lucrative source of sandalwood which American merchants traded in exchange for Chinese silk tea and porcelain. Where American merchants saw commercial possibilities however Protestant missionaries saw opportunities for Christian conversion. In April 1809 two Hawaiian youths Henry Obookiah and Thomas Hopoo arrived in New York aboard the China trade ship Triumph in the hope of receiving an education in the United States. Shortly after their arrival the two took up residence in the New Haven home of the ship's captain Caleb Brintnall. There Obookiah quickly came to the attention of several Yale students who offered to tutor him. Soon he was invited to join the household of Yale president Timothy Dwight. As John Demos explains in his history of the Foreign Mission School where Obookiah became the star student and "the most famous Hawaiian emigrant of his time" "Dwight's home was the starting point" of an eight-year odyssey "that would take Obookiah into three states eight different towns and at least a dozen separate families scattered across the New England countryside" and which culminated in his conversion to Christianity and admission to church membership in 1814. Obookiah and Hopoo were eventually joined by three other Hawaiian youths William Tennooe John Honoree and George Prince Tamoree the son of a Hawaiian king. The stories of these five youths shared "a number of common elements. All had spent time as sailors on American trade ships. Three had served at sea in the War of 1812. Most had experienced periods of extreme hardship after reaching New England.All had sooner or later found sponsors teachers and spiritual guides. All had been moved through a kind of missionary pipeline centered in New Haven but reaching out well across the Connecticut countryside" Demos. Together the five Hawaiian youths would "become the founding nucleus of an institution unlike any previously seen on American soil" Demos. The Narrative was part of a publicity campaign designed to raise funds for the new school and for an eventual mission to Hawaii. As Demos explains the Narrative originated as "a 'manuscript account'" of the "lives and prospects" of the five Hawaiian youths "written some months before by parties unknown and circulated by hand in the interim; the agents of the school were eager to arrange its publication "for the information and excitement of the Christian public.'.it was printed in New York in the last weeks of the year 1816." Such publications "capitalized on the interest in the Sandwich Islands and the islands of the Pacific that had begun gradually with the first sales of the journals and logs from the voyages of Captain Cook the much-performed pantomime of his death and the ubiquitous commercial news that related the daily comings and goings of ships from New England to the Pacific" Arista. A New Jersey issue of the Narrative appeared in the same year; it is not known which preceded the other. The text gives biographies of each of the five youths discusses their activities and experiences in America and prints various letters written by them. According to the authors the Narrative offered "a simple and authentic statement of facts respecting the youth now under the care of the agents; with specimens of their ability and improvement." The final pages discuss the establishment of the Foreign Mission School at Cornwall and include the text of the school's constitution. As the constitution states the object of the school would be "the education of heathen youth in such a manner as that.they may be qualified to become missionaries schoolmasters interpreters physicians or surgeons among heathen nations and to communicate such information in agriculture and the arts as shall tend to promote Christianity and civilization." The Narrative Demos explains "was perfectly timed to catch a rising wave of public interest in 'heathens' abroad.Not coincidentally donations to the ABCFM would soar—from just over $12000 to nearly $30000—in the year of the Mission School's founding." Tragically in 1818 two years after the publication of the Narrative Obookiah died of typhus. His Memoirs edited by Edwin Dwight were published shortly thereafter and the success of that book inspired a wave of interest in the islands which culminated in the sailing of the first missionary bark Thaddeus for Hawaii on October 23 1819. Over the course of nearly a decade from 1817 to 1826 some 100 students from around the world passed through the doors of the Foreign Mission School at Cornwall. They included Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders; Native Americans including Cherokees Choctaws Creeks and others; students from East Asia including China India and the Malay Peninsula; and others from Europe Mexico and throughout the United States.

1842rif. 63627Honolulu: Mea paipalapala a na Misionari 1842. First Edition of PILGRIM'S PROGRESS in Hawaiian in a Hawaiian Binding 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 C. Blake from the Rev. Elias Bond dated at Kohala Sandwich Islands September 29 1843. 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. 12mo. Contemporary Hawaiian sheep boards and backstrip tooled with triangular and diamond-shaped pattern rebacked with original backstrip neatly laid down. Light rubbing and staining to boards.

1838rif. 66226Lahainaluna: Press of the Mission Seminary 1838. Instructions for Missionaries Printed in Hawaii A collection of the original instructions issued to each of eight groups of Christian missionaries sent to Hawaii between 1819 and 1836 by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM. It is a relatively early Lahainaluna imprint printed in an edition of 380 copies. "This work contains the Act of Incorporation of the ABCFM State of Massachusetts signed by Caleb Strong Governor and Alden Bradford Secretary of the Commonwealth 20 June 1812 together with the laws and regulations of the same body. Following this are the parting instructions given to each of the first eight companies of missionaries to the Hawaiian Islands…by Samuel Worcester Jeremiah Evarts David Greene B.B. Wisner and Rufus Anderson. A complete list of each company including the Hawaiians is found on pages 119-122.Rev. Clark's account of printing for the year ending February 28 1839 includes this work and shows a production cost of $30. The printed minutes of the 1839 General Meeting record 380 copies printed" - Forbes. The ABCFM was an interdenominational body composed primarily of New England Congregationalists and Presbyterians whose "attention.was called to the Hawaiian Islands by reports of traders and by the presence in New England of several native youth from these islands.The Protestant Christian community of New England became interested in these young Sandwich Islanders and in the possibility that they might become Christian messengers to their own people.The sending of missionaries to Hawaii followed as the next logical step" Kuykendall. This first group of missionaries sent by the ABCFM to Hawaii included two ordained ministers Hiram Bingham and Asa Thurston a physician two schoolmasters and catechists a printer a farmer; their wives and three Hawaiian youths who had been attending the Foreign Mission School in Cornwall Connecticut. In their set of instructions to this first group of missionaries the ABCFM said that it was God's ".gracious pleasure and his high command that his gospel should be preached to them the people of Hawaii; that they may be turned from darkness unto light – be baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost and taught to observe all things whatsoever he has commanded for their salvation and for his everlasting honor and praise." An important and uncommon text tracing the early history of the American Christian missionary movement and the ABCFM in Hawaii between 1819 and 1836 complete with the names of the missionaries sent by the ABCFM and the goals they were expected to achieve during their respective stays in Hawaii. Contemporary cloth-backed paper boards. Spine neatly repaired boards lightly soiled and rubbed. Light foxing some slight worming in gutter margin with minute loss to text. Very good.

Instructions for Missionaries Printed in Hawaii A collection of the original instructions issued to each of eight groups of Christian missionaries sent to Hawaii between 1819 and 1836 by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM. It is a relatively early Lahainaluna imprint printed in an edition of 380 copies. "This work contains the Act of Incorporation of the ABCFM State of Massachusetts signed by Caleb Strong Governor and Alden Bradford Secretary of the Commonwealth 20 June 1812 together with the laws and regulations of the same body. Following this are the parting instructions given to each of the first eight companies of missionaries to the Hawaiian Islands…by Samuel Worcester Jeremiah Evarts David Greene B.B. Wisner and Rufus Anderson. A complete list of each company including the Hawaiians is found on pages 119-122.Rev. Clark's account of printing for the year ending February 28 1839 includes this work and shows a production cost of $30. The printed minutes of the 1839 General Meeting record 380 copies printed" - Forbes. The ABCFM was an interdenominational body composed primarily of New England Congregationalists and Presbyterians whose "attention.was called to the Hawaiian Islands by reports of traders and by the presence in New England of several native youth from these islands.The Protestant Christian community of New England became interested in these young Sandwich Islanders and in the possibility that they might become Christian messengers to their own people.The sending of missionaries to Hawaii followed as the next logical step" Kuykendall. This first group of missionaries sent by the ABCFM to Hawaii included two ordained ministers Hiram Bingham and Asa Thurston a physician two schoolmasters and catechists a printer a farmer; their wives and three Hawaiian youths who had been attending the Foreign Mission School in Cornwall Connecticut. In their set of instructions to this first group of missionaries the ABCFM said that it was God's ".gracious pleasure and his high command that his gospel should be preached to them the people of Hawaii; that they may be turned from darkness unto light – be baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost and taught to observe all things whatsoever he has commanded for their salvation and for his everlasting honor and praise." An important and uncommon text tracing the early history of the American Christian missionary movement and the ABCFM in Hawaii between 1819 and 1836 complete with the names of the missionaries sent by the ABCFM and the goals they were expected to achieve during their respective stays in Hawaii. Contemporary cloth-backed paper boards. Spine neatly repaired boards lightly soiled and rubbed. Light foxing some slight worming in gutter margin with minute loss to text. Very good.

1843rif. 68824Lahainaluna: Seminary Press 1843. Early Hawaiian Laws Including Those Relating to Whaling and Divorce 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 threshold "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 locates copies to only three institutions: Yale University University of Hawaii at Manoa and Bishop Museum Library. 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. 12mo. Original printed self-wrappers. Small chip at head of spine just separating at lower fold minor foxing. Very good. FORBES 1393. OCLC 862079031. unknown

This noteworthy archive consisting of over 820 original photographs and over 1000 individual negative images provides an essential visual record of the historic archaeological and architectural surveys carried out by the Frosts for the Hawaiian Mission Children’s Society beginning in 1967 in the Bond Historic District located in the Iole Ahupua’a one of the few remaining traditional land divisions in Hawaii. The Bond homestead Kalahikiola Church the Kohala Seminary and attached medical doctor’s office are all located within the Bond District and the well preserved homestead was first established by Rev. Elias Bond 1813-1896 in 1841 with the Kalahikiola Church completed in 1855 rebuilt after devastating earthquake in 2006 and the Kohala girl’s school founded in 1872. The hundreds of photos show the household objects textiles tools furnishings documents artwork books equipment and more all accumulated from 1841 through 1930 by the Bond family. Elias and his wife Ellen had sailed with the Ninth Company of Missionaries from Boston and settled at Kohala HI in the mission established by Rev. Isaac Bliss who had completed the main building before their arrival. The Bond’s immediately began adding additional buildings such as the wash house archway & walls foundations of woodshed and carpenter sheds as well as begun work on the Kalahikiola Church. Rev. Bond had founded the Kohala Sugar Co. in 1862 as “The Missionary Plantation” to support his church and schools and he refused to institute the slave-like labor conditions of other sugar growers in the Hawaiian Islands. The profits made the Kohala Sugar Co. one of the largest benefactors to other missions operating for 110 years. Many of the artifacts depicted appear to have been accumulated and used by Dr. Benjamin Bond 1853-1930 his son who finished medical school at the Univ. of Michigan in 1882 and returned to live and work on the homestead with a doctor’s office attached to the main house in 1884 for his practice. After Dr. Bond married Emma Mary Renton 1866-1951 in 1889 a wood-framed cottage was added at the East end for them. In addition a small shed was expanded to shelter a horse carriage and single horse stall for emergency medical calls. A series of photos shows the scene of the Frost’s driving to the homestead and then heading into the Bond properties. The photos meticulously document the china glassware stoneware needlepoint & embroidery samples an ABC sampler by Eliza Bond signed 1817 silver flatware bellows original photos & illustrations of homestead buildings chairs large benches and sideboards. The kitchen cooking implements cookware and equipment receive significant attention with photos showing the ancient kitchen burners hot water tank propane or oil-fired stove historic coral stone chimney dining chairs and more. Of particular interest are the extended series of images depicting the artifacts medical instruments and furnishings in Dr. Bond’s office including his book collection Chautauqua desk large safe dried medical herbs razors astronomy atlas anatomy atlas diagrams eyeglasses glass beakers pharmacy tools and much more. Also included are photos of abandoned boxes for chemical and pharmaceutical supplies in the attic. The breadth of clothing textiles toiletry items jewelry rope beds architectural elements family photos a Chinese compass art easel and more reflect the growing affluence of the family not only from Dr. Bond’s practice but also as the sugar production and mill expand however with much of the profit still being devoted to Mission Society projects. The negatives and photos also show the wagons used by the doctor and his family the extensive tools employed on the homestead to maintain not only the family holdings but also the Church and Girl’s School buildings. Photos also show a bookpress bottles sawmill equipment a rock crusher installed for road paving and more. After Dr. Bond’s death the buildings were maintained by a special trust fund which terminated in 1968 and subsequent to that time a family corporation helped finance the care of the estate. The manuscript diagrams and notes by the Frost indicate where windows were replaced from the original when electrical work was done on the property improvements to the buildings where the hallway from the shop to kitchen was located the women’s toilet pantry cupboards and rough charts and maps of locations of buildings and objects on some of the walls. For a time the Industrial Building housing 12 occupational students and one teacher continued to operate but in 1955 the school stopped functioning. For over a decade the properties were used for conferences retreats and camping grounds but eventually they became unoccupied and unused so they were in very poor condition when surveyed by the Frosts over three years. The Frosts prepared a very scarce photo album and report consisting of 6 pages of text and 12 leaves containing 82 tipped-in photos in January 1968 followed by a Feasibility Study for the Hawaiian Mission Children’s Society in 1969 but we could find no similar extant collection of these photographs or records of this historical survey. The National Register Survey was completed in 1973 and then filed in 1977 finally approved in 1978 for adding the properties to the National Register.

1869rif. 57593Honolulu: Printed by C.C. Bennett 1869 i.e. 1871. Revised Edition of the First Honolulu Directory The second revised edition of the first Honolulu directory printed personally by the author at his book and stationery store on Fort Street. Compared to the first edition of 1869 this 1871 edition contains an additional three pages of text which extend the historical sketch to the latter date and the directory entries are printed in a single column instead of double along with other minor adjustments. The majority of the volume is taken up by a detailed history of the islands beginning with "Discovery by Gaetano and Mendana" and featuring a "Visit by Cook" as opposed to the first edition which begins with "Discovery by Cook". The following sketch covers the reign of Kamehameha I the arrival of the first Christian missionaries and details of various political and diplomatic incidents including the arrival of Catholicism the LaPlace affair the provisional cession of 1843 a brief paragraph referencing the California Gold Rush and more. Along with historical details the author of the history who Forbes identifies as journalist Henry Sheldon provides a variety of other pieces of information including on the Bible's translation in Hawaiian the entirety of the 1852 constitution a detailed passage on Hawaiian manners and customs and a dissection of the Islands' declining population. At least one contemporary reader was unimpressed by Bennett's improvements however - H.M. Whitney reviewed the second edition in his weekly Pacific Commercial Advertiser declaring it "the worst specimen of printing in book form that has ever been given to the Honolulu public." The directory proper begins on page eighty-one and runs for the next twenty unnumbered pages. Residents and businesses are listed by name usually along with a profession and street address. At the end of the directory is an additional list of "Traders and Planters on the Other Islands." In this copy an index leaf from the first edition the second page of which is numbered 88 is bound in at the rear; interestingly despite the changes between editions the page numbers listed remain accurate. Both editions of this directory are quite scarce and this second much more so. While Rare Book Hub locates four copies of the 1869 edition at auction in the past twenty years not copy of this 1871 edition is noted since a copy at the auction of the Henry C. Carter collection at Anderson Galleries in 1908. OCLC locates only four copies at the Library of Congress University of Hawaii at Manoa American Antiquarian Society and Harvard.
