Honolulu: Sketches of Life, Social, Political, and Religious, in the Hawaiian Islands, From 1828 to 1861
Excerpt from Sketches of Life, Social, Political, and Religious, in the Hawaiian Islands, From 1828 to 1861
If the coloring is partial, or Should be thought by some too deeply shaded, it must be remembered that the Views are sketched from her own stand-point.
If there are missing links in the chain of events, the author has only to say that She has not pretended to Write a history of the Hawaiian kingdom, but has culled and abridged from the mass of papers before her, so as to present the important incidents of each year in pano rama, omitting much in order to avoid personalities and tediousness. If the work should awaken any interest for the races of Polynesia, if it draw forth one tear of sympathy for the nations yet in darkness, one prayer for the rising of the Sun of Righteousness, her ambition will be satisfied.
