uthor gives some delightful pictures of the islands, the
people and the manner of living. There is a good deal of life
and color and much interesting statement, particularly as to the
life of the kings and queens who ruled like despots over the tiny
kingdom."--_Philadelphia Inquirer_.
"Evidently the author, even in boyhood, had a boundless love and
admiration for the works of nature, for some of his descriptions of
that wonderfully creviced and volcano-studded land are truly marvelous
in their vivid and beautiful portrayal."--_Oregon Journal_.
"If one desires to obtain an impression of the inside of the mission
work which transformed the character of the Sandwich Islanders,
as they used to be known, from heathenism to Christianity, he will
find it in this interesting volume. It is a description of conditions
in the Hawaiian Islands at the time when American missionaries were
establishing their work."--_The Standard_.
"The volume is unique in that it relates to a period about which
American readers have known little."--_Boston Transcript_.
