The Hawaiian Archipelago: Six Months Amongst Palm Groves, Coral Reefs, and Volcanoes of the Sandwich Islands (Classic Reprint)

The kindness with which this volume has been received by the press and public, both in this country and on the Hawaiian I slands, renders the preparation of another edition a pleasant task. When the book was published last year I was under some apprehension that several errors, arising from hasty observation, had been made, and it is a source of much gratification to me, that the verdict of the Hawaiian press and people is unanimous both as to the accuracy of the facts stated, and the conclusions which have been drawn from them. Under these circumstances few alterations are necessary. The concluding chapters have been revised, and the statistical information brought down to the latest date, a fw repetitions have been omitted, and I have withdrawn a passage regarding the prospects of the Honolulu Mission, which, in the opinion of those interested in its success, was calculated to cause discouragement.
