The Glasgow Mercury 1791: British trade with Northwest Coast of America and China

1791réf. 21955Glasgow 1791. Very good condition. Tuesday June 7 to Tuesday June 14 1791 issue of the Scottish newspaper Vol. XIV No. 702; pp 185 - 192. 'Sunday's Post' concerning the troubled state of trade and relations with China and the Northwest Coast of America: "Our countrymen have found a very considerable loss from the trade between China and the North West Coast of America having been so abruptly stopped by the ill conduct of the Spaniards. The latter have since formed a most advantageous intercourse between the two countries which is likely to be carried on to a very great extent." The article goes on to note trouble in Hawaii: "A small ship had been taken possession of by the Sandwich Islanders at Owhyee and every person on board killed. Her name is unknown. Several ships are equipping in India for this trade to the North West coast of America". p189. Original folds a bit of minor splitting. A small rectangle of text 3 x 1 1/2" excised at the rear page. 9 1/2 x 11 1/2" unknown

Southside of Oahu.

1880réf. 3796Scarce Chart of Oahu: Pearl Harbor to Diamond Head 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. 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. Condition: Original fold lines. Repair of 1 ½" tear at binding edge. Very good. ICN 7677. U.S. Navy Hydrographic Office
