1843réf. 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

1930réf. 62840Hawaii mostly Honolulu. ca. 1930s. Pre-WWII Hawaiian Photos and Postcards in a Traditional Hawaiian Cloth Binding An attractive album of original photographs and photographic postcards from 1930s Hawaii bound in traditional patterned Hawaiian tapa or kapa cloth. The photographs a handful of which are briefly captioned in manuscript on the verso depict a variety of scenes both natural and urban mostly in and around Honolulu. Some of the original photos include general street scenes of the town several photos of American servicemen at the "Army and Navy Y.M.C.A." Honolulu's famous palace-turned-courthouse Ali'iolani Hale and the most recent building for the city's longstanding and highly influential Central Union Church completed in 1924. The postcards mostly with the logo "KH Ltd." and often captioned in the negative depict various tourist attractions like Diamond Head and the Moanalua gardens and activities such as hula dancing surfing and shark fishing. One postcard captioned "H 152 China Clipper Ship – Pearl Harbor Oahu" shows an image of an amphibious plane resting in the harbor while American military planes fly overhead. By the 1930s the practice of making tapa fabric was beginning to wane; it was primarily seen as an emblem of traditional Hawaiian culture and so would have been an attractive choice for such a souvenir album. An appealing collection of pre-World War II Hawaiian images in an attractive tapa cloth binding. Oblong tapa cloth album tied with string. Light shelf wear three images loose in album. Photographs crisp and clean. Near fine. hardcover
1887réf. 67658Oahu Hawaii: October 29 1887. Hawaiian Manuscript from the Reign of King KalÄkaua An unusual manuscript deed recording the sale of land on Hawaii's Mokauea Island with the land boundaries expressed in 'Ōlelo Hawai'i the Hawaiian language and the land coordinates included in the boundary description. The land in question was sold by Antone Rodrigues to Manuel Rodrigues during the KalÄkaua Dynasty for three thousand dollars. Written in 'Ōlelo Hawai'i the deed the land being sold and its history of ownership: the land was "described in Royal Patent 1853 based on Land Commission Award 7168 to Kailio for J. Kaaukai and conveyed to me Antone Rodrigues by J. Kaaukai and Mahiaihis his wife by deed dated the 23rd day of August A.D. 1865 of record in the Hawaiian Registry of Deeds in said Honolulu in Liber 20 folios 97 and 98." Ana Kalama Rodrigues Antone's wife then releases her dower rights to the property to Manuel Rodrigues and his heirs. The document is signed with Antone's mark and Ana's full signature each followed by a seal. The document is also endorsed by the attorney who wrote the document. An additional section written and signed by the Hawaiian Registrar of Conveyances follows verifying that Ana Rodrigues was not coerced by her husband to sign away her dower rights: "the said Ana Kalama on a private examination by me separate and apart from her husband further acknowledges to me that she executed the same without any fear compulsion or restraint of her said husband." Antone Rodrigues aka Antonio Rodrigues-Gaspar was born in approximately 1830 and immigrated to Hawaii from Pico Island in the Portuguese Azores sometime before 1865 when he purchased the land in question. Antone had likely arrived as a sailor or officer on a whaling ship as had most Portuguese migrants to Hawaii prior to 1878 and married Ana Kalama in 1868. A rare administrative document created during the KalÄkaua Dynasty incorporating an 'Ōlelo Hawai'i description in addition to English. Officially marked documentation with Hawaiian language content is quite scarce outside of the islands. Narrow folio. Old folds. Light even tanning one-inch separation at right edge of lower fold line. Very good. unknown
1830réf. 63884N.p.: American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ca. 1830s. Original Questionnaire for Hawaiian Missionaries A questionnaire produced by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM directed towards new missionaries to Hawaii. The Board was founded in 1810 by graduates from Williams College and sent its first missionaries to British India in 1812. Beginning in the 1820s the ABCFM sent twelve companies of missionaries to Hawaii many of whom became instrumental figures in the public life of the Islands in the 19th century. The questionnaire consists of two conjugate leaves: the first contains twenty-two questions and is directed at the missionary. The second leaf is headed "For Females" and contains fifteen questions. In addition to personal questions such as nativity and educational background missionaries are asked to provide information about when and where they were converted licensed and ordained when they "first decided in favor of becoming a missionary to the heathen" what their role was in the mission "if not an evangelist physician or printer" and details of their vessel and journey. The questionnaire for females asks mostly similar questions but omits those related to preaching and ministry in favor of questions about children and family. This form is addressed to "J.S. Emerson & Mrs. Emerson." John S. and Ursula Sophia Newell Emerson arrived in Hawaii in 1832 as members of the fifth company of missionaries sent by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. John S. Emerson 1800-67 was born in Chester New Hampshire and graduated from Dartmouth College and Andover Theological Seminary. In 1831 he married Ursula Sophia Newell 1806-88 of Nelson New Hampshire the couple soon thereafter embarking for Hawaii. Except for an interval at the Mission Seminary at Lahainaluna Maui in the 1840s and a return visit to the United States in 1860-61 the couple spent the rest of their lives in Waialua Oahu. There they founded a Protestant Church and established schools - John instructing the boys and Ursula instructing the girls in not only academics but in singing sewing and other domestic work. A remarkable survival from the early days of Christian missionary activity in Hawaii. Old folds lower fold just beginning to split. Very good plus. unknown
1838réf. 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.

réf. 57563Honolulu: Printed for the proprietor Peter A. Brinsmade 1838-1839. Complete Run of an Early Hawaiian Periodical A complete run of "the first literary and scientific periodical published in the Hawaiian Islands" Forbes. THE HAWAIIAN SPECTATOR was a short-lived periodical based in Honolulu originally printed in parts. Two volumes of four parts each were printed; a third volume was planned for 1840 and had begun soliciting articles but never came to fruition. The SPECTATOR's proprietor was Peter A. Brinsmade a Connecticut native and the "& Company" part of Ladd & Company. Ladd & Co. was an early Hawaiian business partnership notable for establishing the first commercial sugarcane plantation on the islands. Brinsmade also traveled throughout Europe on their behalf looking for investors in an international land speculation scheme. THE HAWAIIAN SPECTATOR contains a wide array of articles related to Hawaii and the South Pacific in general. The contents by a diverse group of authors including Hiram Bingham and translated works by native Hawaiians discuss Hawaii's history geology environment medicine education literature language and more. Some pieces in the first volume include "Sketch of Christmas Island" by Capt. George Benson accompanied by an engraved map of the island made at the Lahainaluna Press a similar article on Ocean Island with a map prepared in the same fashion and "Introduction of the Gospel to Northwest America" by Hiram Bingham with a long discussion of the Whitman and Spaulding mission and featuring printed music with lyrics in English and Hawaiian. The second volume contains a similar miscellany of articles concerning Hawaii and its peoples as well as J.J. Jarves' "Overland Journey in Central America" and a description of the voyage of the French frigate L'Artemise to Hawaii and the imperialist saber-rattling by which it was accompanied. The greater part of the second volume is devoted to the serial publication of A BRIEF MEMOIR OF THE LIFE OF MR. DAVID DOUGLAS WITH EXTRACTS FROM HIS LETTERS. This is a complete reprint in effect the second edition of a work originally published by Sir William Hooker in THE COMPANION TO THE BOTANICAL MAGAZINE in 1836. Douglas of Douglas Fir fame was a distinguished botanist who made two trips to the Pacific Northwest under the sponsorship of the Horticultural Society first in 1824-27 and again in 1829-34. In 1834 he sailed to Hawaii to continue his research but shortly after his arrival he "tripped" into a pit dug to catch wild cattle and was gored to death by a bull. His collections and work laid the foundation for botanical research in the region and are justly celebrated and discussed at length in McKelvey. Wagner-Camp and McKelvey both misidentify this printing the former calling it an edition of Douglas' JOURNAL rather than the MEMOIR and the latter suggesting that it is only a partial printing rather than the complete reprint it is. A valuable piece of relatively early Hawaiian printing and an important step in the public intellectual development of the islands also including a rare edition of Douglas' journals. THE HAWAIIAN SPECTATOR is rare even in fragments - volume one in particular was printed in only 600 copies. Two volumes. 8112104217-440pp. including printed music plus two folding maps and large folding table; viii494pp. plus one plate. Modern three-quarter calf and marbled boards spines gilt.

1869réf. 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. Forbes adds the Hawaiian Historical Society Hawaiian Mission Children's Society Library and Hawaii State Library. An uncommon and important early Hawaiian directory. Pebbled purple cloth front board stamped in gilt. Spine sunned boards lightly stained. Text lightly tanned scattered light foxing index leaves trimmed quite close at head without touching text lacking advertisement leaves.
